Convenient Store 便利店


有时候我会怀念起杂货铺。
因为在我们的世界中他们已经被便利店取代。
显然,便利店意味着完整的品质管理体系——意味着你可以在同样的招牌下用统一的价格买到一样的商品,不必担心过期,不必害怕上当受骗。店员都着制服,面带微笑,不会遇到怠慢,不会被当出气筒。
但他们是店员,不再是老板娘兼隔壁大妈,不再有闲聊说笑,不再有小礼品,也不再有哄小孩的糖果玩具。不再有一个又一个的故事。
这就好比好吃的东西总是出现在餐馆而不是连锁快餐一样。

Sometimes I miss grocery stores.
But there're convenient stores only.
Surely CvS means quality management, means you can buy the same thing at the same price in stores with the same brand. Everything is normalized, no cheats, no expires. Smiling serveses, of course.
And everything is in control. No chat, no candy, no flower and no firework - there're just keppers, not ever bosses.
Then no more stories, just like the delicious foods which are only appeared in restaurants, not PizzaHuts.
