@sleepytako WUT? They have Daiso in the US?

sleepytako, 22 days ago

@FlockOfCats oh yeah there's a ton of stores all over Los Angeles Las Vegas Phoenix

@sleepytako wow I had no idea. Are they the same as Daiso in Japan?

sleepytako, 22 days ago

@FlockOfCats pretty much some of the things they sell are local Dollar store items for letter and legal size paper as we don't use the a sizes out here

@sleepytako they are probably happy to supplement their multiples of 100 yen pricing with multiples of 1 dollar pricing!

sleepytako, 22 days ago

@FlockOfCats prices are still in yen with signs. I think 100yen = US$1.75 or so.

FlockOfCats, 22 days ago

@sleepytako haha really

I would happily convert my pay to 100 yen to 1.75 dollars lol

sleepytako, 22 days ago

@FlockOfCats yeah I'm thinking they're making a good amount of money right now in the states. I thought they'd come down to Tucson from Phoenix in a couple years but not this quick.

@sleepytako

If that is accurate it is crazy since the current rate is 100 yen = 0.64 dollars

If they are able to price it arbitrarily as an “import” as opposed to just exchanging it, some people at Daiso earned their bonus lol

@FlockOfCats they can charge it the quality of Dollar store stuff here is a lot lower in general.
