Honesty Store: you can see a security camera in the yellow circle and a safe in the yellow square.

Is honesty store common in your country?


This system can be still available, especially in the rural areas.
It’s amazing when it comes to buying local fresh vegetables and fruits.


There is an advanced system using coin locker found in Tokyo.
Each coin locker has a transparent window so that you could see what kind of vegetables are in it.
The prices are shown on the each locker.
Once you choose the items that you would like to buy, you should insert coins to open the window and get them.
It seems much more secured system than the normal honesty store which sometimes installs a security camera.


Aside from vegetables and fruits, what kind of items are sold at honesty store in your country?

無人販売所は、貴方のお國では当たり前でしょうか。


特に、田舎では、まだ無人販売所があります。
地元の新鮮な野菜や果物が購入できるという点で素晴らしいです。


東京で見つけたコインロッカを使った進化した無人販売所があります。
各コインロッカーには、中身が見えるように透明の窓がついています。
価格は、それぞれのロッカーに書いてあります。買いたい商品を選んだら、お金を投入して開錠して取り出します。
一部でセキュリティーカメラが導入されているとはいえ、通常の無人販売所よりは、コインロッカーを使った方が安全性は高そうです。

貴方のお國では、野菜や果物以外に、どんな商品が無人販売機で売られていますか。
