0:00.000–0:04.020
Yes, today we'd like to discuss how to use convenience store restrooms.
0:04.540–0:08.760
I'm sure you've all been grateful that a convenience store had a restroom available, right?
0:09.180–0:10.240
Yes, we have.
0:10.820–0:13.087
So, when you use a convenience store restroom,
0:13.087–0:15.180
do you buy something as a token of thanks, or
0:15.180–0:17.040
do you use it without buying anything?
0:18.080–0:20.700
Trill looked into this for us. Here it is.
0:21.440–0:24.576
About 70% of people said they make a purchase, while
0:24.576–0:27.420
a certain number, nearly 30%, said they do not.
0:27.420–0:30.740
But they still answered that they use the restroom.
0:32.000–0:33.920
Let's take a look at the various opinions.
0:34.780–0:35.660
Here they are.
0:36.360–0:39.360
First, someone in their 40s who said they make a purchase.
0:39.960–0:42.040
I would feel guilty just using the restroom.
0:42.840–0:46.140
Since I'm using their facilities, I always buy at least a cheap snack.
0:47.220–0:50.580
And I don't want the staff looking at me like I'm just there to use the toilet.
0:51.800–0:53.620
That's why they chose to make a purchase.
0:54.700–0:57.100
On the other hand, those who don't buy anything.
0:57.420–1:02.160
A woman in her 20s said a 100 yen purchase might actually be an inconvenience for the staff.
1:02.860–1:03.080
Oh.
1:03.300–1:04.880
Then, a man in his 70s.
1:05.040–1:07.900
I consider it a free service provided by the convenience store.
1:08.080–1:10.080
And furthermore, a man in his 60s.
1:10.340–1:12.314
There was an opinion that they say thank you when
1:12.314–1:14.980
borrowing it and when leaving the store, but don't buy anything.
1:15.760–1:18.320
Well, there are many views, but what about you all?
1:18.680–1:21.560
I'm sure you've used a convenience store restroom before, but...
1:21.560–1:22.500
What is your mindset?
1:22.860–1:24.220
Or do you buy something or not?
1:24.300–1:25.180
How do you handle it?
1:25.300–1:25.640
Yes.
1:25.960–1:28.300
I have borrowed a restroom without making a purchase.
1:29.480–1:31.621
However, in those cases, for instance,
1:31.621–1:35.320
some stores these days have signs saying, please feel free to use it.
1:35.580–1:38.164
But if they don't, I ask the staff, excuse me,
1:38.164–1:39.560
may I use your restroom?
1:39.560–1:41.220
And if they say it's fine,
1:41.220–1:44.540
I make an effort to use it without buying anything.
1:45.080–1:46.660
Um hum, when you're with your child.
1:49.720–1:51.399
Right, when my kids were little and
1:51.399–1:53.020
suddenly said they had to go, we wo
1:53.020–1:54.757
uld sometimes rely on a convenience
1:54.757–1:57.883
store, but I feel that rather than leaving empty-handed, I'd buy
1:57.883–1:59.620
something to express my gratitude.
1:59.620–2:04.500
Yeah, that's true, isn't it?
2:04.620–2:07.119
Well, everyone, I'm sure you have various opinions,
2:07.119–2:09.561
but after our meeting today, I've really put myself
2:09.561–2:12.060
in the shoes of those who work at convenience stores.
2:12.720–2:13.520
Sorry about that.
2:13.680–2:16.240
If I start sounding too earnest, please correct me.
2:16.420–2:16.720
Yes.
2:16.940–2:19.160
So, first, let's look at three points.
2:20.540–2:21.435
To start with, when
2:21.435–2:24.680
did convenience stores actually begin offering restroom services?
2:26.500–2:27.740
We asked Lawson.
2:27.740–2:32.154
Originally, the restrooms were strictly in the backyard for employees to use,
2:32.154–2:33.960
so they were located in the back.
2:36.080–2:38.714
Occasionally, they would let customers use them if asked,
2:38.714–2:40.380
but basically, they were in the back.
2:41.300–2:42.877
Then, from 1997 onwards,
2:42.877–2:46.480
it seems there were voices wanting to use them at any time.
2:46.640–2:47.619
From that point on,
2:47.619–2:48.537
it led to a movemen
2:48.537–2:49.516
t of declaring rest
2:49.516–2:52.760
rooms open to the public and installing them inside the stores.
2:52.760–2:58.640
Now, I would like to look in detail at the actual usage of the convenience store restrooms we use every day.
2:59.300–3:00.100
Here it is.
3:00.620–3:04.376
When we look into the actual usage of these convenience store restrooms,
3:04.376–3:06.900
well, there are about 14,000 stores nationwide.
3:07.640–3:10.022
Daily restroom usage, as of last November,
3:10.022–3:12.140
is reportedly about 1 million people.
3:12.600–3:12.820
Oh.
3:12.820–3:15.040
So, I want you to think about this.
3:15.920–3:18.000
The amount of toilet paper consumed annually.
3:18.660–3:19.740
It's quite a lot.
3:19.860–3:20.940
It's a lot, isn't it?
3:21.000–3:22.400
It's amazing, isn't it?
3:22.480–3:24.700
In a word, you might not be able to fathom it.
3:25.300–3:26.440
I'll show you the answer.
3:26.780–3:27.140
This.
3:28.200–3:29.920
It's about 10 million rolls.
3:30.660–3:32.900
Even 1,000 rolls would be surprising.
3:32.900–3:35.400
But this is about 10 million rolls.
3:36.180–3:38.120
So, our program looked into it.
3:38.220–3:40.580
Let's assume you buy 8 rolls of toilet paper.
3:41.000–3:43.080
Let's say it costs about 500 yen.
3:43.600–3:47.540
By simple calculation, that comes to 640 million yen.
3:48.280–3:50.920
Naturally, this cost falls on the store's side.
3:51.960–3:53.520
We must be aware of that.
3:54.100–3:55.819
And furthermore, since it's a restroom,
3:55.819–3:57.640
there are burdens other than toilet paper.
3:57.840–4:00.620
Water bills, electricity bills, cleaning, and inspections.
4:00.900–4:01.700
Who does all this?
4:01.700–4:03.600
It's the staff members, isn't it?
4:05.100–4:08.600
So, I want you to keep in mind that there are burdens in various ways.
4:12.400–4:14.319
On the other hand, Lawson says that while
4:14.319–4:16.520
customers aren't required to make a purchase,
4:16.940–4:20.482
doing so allows them to dedicate a portion of those earnings to the maintenance and
4:20.482–4:21.560
upkeep of the restrooms.
4:24.320–4:27.140
And in the midst of this, a new movement is emerging.
4:27.140–4:28.837
This is a case from Yokohama,
4:28.837–4:30.464
where the city is teaming up
4:30.464–4:34.000
with convenience stores to reduce the burden on both sides.
4:34.840–4:35.080
Yeah.
4:35.600–4:39.616
Since last May, they have been providing subsidies ranging from 78,
4:39.616–4:41.800
000 to 96,000 yen per store annually.
4:41.800–4:44.872
You might wonder why they're targeting these stores,
4:44.872–4:47.740
but the goal is to turn them into public restrooms.
4:49.980–4:52.089
This is because they are easy to access, and
4:52.089–4:54.900
the city wants to address the shortage of public toilets.
4:54.900–5:01.160
And as for why they focused on convenience stores, here is the reason.
5:02.800–5:05.940
Building new facilities can cost tens of millions of yen.
5:07.220–5:09.481
Given the location circumstances in Yokohama,
5:09.481–5:11.628
preparing a sufficient number of them would c
5:11.628–5:13.380
ost as much as building a whole house.
5:13.380–5:17.860
That is why they want to make effective use of existing restrooms.
5:18.300–5:18.660
Yeah.
5:19.660–5:21.866
So, we've looked at the issue of restrooms, but
5:21.866–5:24.073
let's wrap up by looking at the convenience sto
5:24.073–5:25.600
re services we take for granted.
5:26.820–5:27.260
Yes.
5:27.580–5:29.220
First, there are the trash cans.
5:29.460–5:31.180
We just assume they'll be there, right?
5:31.300–5:33.123
But these convenience store trash cans,
5:33.123–5:36.180
there is a trend now of moving them from outside to inside the stores.
5:36.400–5:39.520
That's because many people have been disposing of their household trash there.
5:39.520–5:41.995
Then there are ashtrays, which we see less of lately,
5:41.995–5:44.020
though their placement is up to each store.
5:44.260–5:46.580
Some stores have decided not to provide them at all,
5:46.580–5:49.440
out of consideration for passive smoking and the environment.
5:49.920–5:51.140
Then there are the parking lots.
5:51.500–5:53.340
People park there without using the store.
5:54.080–5:56.080
That causes a lot of trouble, doesn't it?
5:57.060–5:59.033
Especially with the trash cans, it's just so
5:59.033–6:00.260
common that they're there.
6:00.440–6:03.520
I had completely forgotten that this is actually provided as a service.
6:03.720–6:04.340
What do you think?
6:04.480–6:05.360
Yeah, indeed.
6:05.360–6:09.680
We shouldn't just take convenience for granted.
6:10.140–6:12.030
We need to be mindful that so much time and
6:12.030–6:14.087
effort from many different people goes into
6:14.087–6:16.700
it, and keep that in mind when we use convenience stores.
6:19.120–6:19.780
That's right.
6:19.960–6:21.440
Experts are saying the same thing.
6:21.600–6:24.640
In Japan, we've come to take it for granted that we'll be allowed to use them.
6:24.780–6:27.680
We need to consider the risk that they might stop letting people use them.
6:27.820–6:28.100
Yeah.
6:28.100–6:32.417
When you go abroad, it's very rare for shops to let you use their restrooms,
6:32.417–6:35.760
so we have to be aware that Japan is special in that regard.
6:36.640–6:38.620
We should always make sure to say thank you.
6:38.800–6:39.160
Yes.
6:39.160–6:39.800
Thank you.
6:39.800–6:39.860
Thank you.
6:39.860–6:40.000
Thank you.

0:00.000–0:04.020
是的，今天我們想討論如何使用便利商店的廁所。
0:04.540–0:08.760
我相信大家都曾感激過便利商店提供廁所，對吧？
0:09.180–0:10.240
是的，我們確實有過這種感受。
0:10.820–0:13.087
所以，當您使用便利商店的廁所時，
0:13.087–0:15.180
您會買些東西作為感謝，還是
0:15.180–0:17.040
什麼都不買就直接使用？
0:18.080–0:20.700
Trill 幫我們調查了這個問題。結果如下。
0:21.440–0:24.576
約有 70% 的人表示他們會購買商品，而
0:24.576–0:27.420
約有 30% 的人表示他們不會購買。
0:27.420–0:30.740
但他們仍然回答說他們確實使用了廁所。
0:32.000–0:33.920
讓我們來看看各種不同的意見。
0:34.780–0:35.660
這裡是相關的意見。
0:36.360–0:39.360
首先，是一位表示會購買商品的 40 多歲人士。
0:39.960–0:42.040
我覺得光是使用廁所就會感到內疚。
0:42.840–0:46.140
既然使用了他們的設施，我總是至少會買個便宜的零食。
0:47.220–0:50.580
我也不希望店員看著我，覺得我只是來上廁所的。
0:51.800–0:53.620
這就是他們選擇購買商品的原因。
0:54.700–0:57.100
另一方面，那些什麼都不買的人。
0:57.420–1:02.160
一位 20 多歲的女性表示，購買 100 日圓的商品對店員來說反而可能是種負擔。
1:02.860–1:03.080
哦。
1:03.300–1:04.880
接著，是一位 70 多歲的男性。
1:05.040–1:07.900
我認為這是便利商店提供的免費服務。
1:08.080–1:10.080
此外，還有一位 60 多歲的男性。
1:10.340–1:12.314
有人表示，他們在
1:12.314–1:14.980
借用廁所和離開商店時會說謝謝，但不會購買商品。
1:15.760–1:18.320
嗯，觀點很多，但大家怎麼看呢？
1:18.680–1:21.560
我相信大家以前都用過便利商店的廁所，但是……
1:21.560–1:22.500
您的想法是什麼？
1:22.860–1:24.220
還是您會購買商品，或者不買？
1:24.300–1:25.180
您通常怎麼處理？
1:25.300–1:25.640
是的。
1:25.960–1:28.300
我曾沒有購買商品就借用了廁所。
1:29.480–1:31.621
不過，在那些情況下，例如，
1:31.621–1:35.320
現在有些商店會貼出標示，寫著「歡迎自由使用」。
1:35.580–1:38.164
但如果有店沒有標示，我會詢問店員，不好意思，
1:38.164–1:39.560
我可以借用您的廁所嗎？
1:39.560–1:41.220
如果他們說沒問題，
1:41.220–1:44.540
我會努力在不購買商品的情況下使用廁所。
1:45.080–1:46.660
嗯嗯，當您帶著孩子時。
1:49.720–1:51.399
沒錯，當我的孩子還小，並且
1:51.399–1:53.020
突然說他們得走了，我們有
1:53.020–1:54.757
時候會依賴便利
1:54.757–1:57.883
商店，但我覺得與其空手離開，還不如買點東西表達我的感激之情。
1:57.883–1:59.620
是啊，確實如此，不是嗎？
1:59.620–2:04.500
嗯，大家，我相信你們各有不同的看法，
2:04.620–2:07.119
但在今天的會議之後，我真的設身處地為便利商店的工作人員著想了。
2:07.119–2:09.561
抱歉。
2:09.561–2:12.060
如果我說得太嚴肅，請糾正我。
2:12.720–2:13.520
是的。
2:13.680–2:16.240
那麼，首先，讓我們來看看三個重點。
2:16.420–2:16.720
首先，便利商店實際上是何時開始提供洗手間服務的？
2:16.940–2:19.160
我們詢問了羅森（Lawson）。
2:20.540–2:21.435
原本，洗手間嚴格來說是在後院供員工使用，
2:21.435–2:24.680
所以它們位於後方。
2:26.500–2:27.740
偶爾，如果顧客要求，他們會允許顧客使用，
2:27.740–2:32.154
但基本上，它們位於後方。
2:32.154–2:33.960
然後，從1997年開始，
2:36.080–2:38.714
似乎出現了希望隨時使用洗手間的聲音。
2:38.714–2:40.380
從那時候起，
2:41.300–2:42.877
這引發了一場運動
2:42.877–2:46.480
，宣布洗手間對公眾開放，
2:46.640–2:47.619
並在店內安裝洗手間。
2:47.619–2:48.537
現在，我想詳細探討我們每天使用的便利商店洗手間的實際使用情况。
2:48.537–2:49.516
這裡有數據。
2:49.516–2:52.760
當我們調查這些便利商店洗手間的實際使用情况時，
2:52.760–2:58.640
嗯，全國大約有14,000家商店。
2:59.300–3:00.100
截至去年11月的每日洗手間使用人數，
3:00.620–3:04.376
據報導約為100萬人。
3:04.376–3:06.900
哦。
3:07.640–3:10.022
所以，我想請大家思考這個問題。
3:10.022–3:12.140
每年消耗的衛生紙數量。
3:12.600–3:12.820
相當多。
3:12.820–3:15.040
很多，不是嗎？
3:15.920–3:18.000
很驚人，不是嗎？
3:18.660–3:19.740
一言以蔽之，你可能無法想像。
3:19.860–3:20.940
我來告訴你答案。
3:21.000–3:22.400
這個。
3:22.480–3:24.700
總之，你可能無法想像。
3:25.300–3:26.440
我來告訴你答案。
3:26.780–3:27.140
就是這個。
3:28.200–3:29.920
大約是1,000萬捲。
3:30.660–3:32.900
即使是1,000捲也令人驚訝。
3:32.900–3:35.400
但這可是大約1,000萬捲。
3:36.180–3:38.120
所以，我們的程式進行了調查。
3:38.220–3:40.580
假設你買了8捲衛生紙。
3:41.000–3:43.080
假設價格大約是500日圓。
3:43.600–3:47.540
簡單計算下來，總共是6.4億日圓。
3:48.280–3:50.920
自然，這筆費用是由店家承擔。
3:51.960–3:53.520
我們必須意識到這一點。
3:54.100–3:55.819
而且，因為這是洗手間，
3:55.819–3:57.640
除了衛生紙之外還有其他負擔。
3:57.840–4:00.620
水費、電費、清潔和檢查。
4:00.900–4:01.700
這些都是誰在做呢？
4:01.700–4:03.600
是店員們，對吧？
4:05.100–4:08.600
所以，我希望你記住，各方面都有負擔。
4:12.400–4:14.319
另一方面，羅森表示，雖然
4:14.319–4:16.520
顧客不需要購買商品，
4:16.940–4:20.482
但購買商品可以將部分收益用於洗手間的維護和
4:20.482–4:21.560
保養。
4:24.320–4:27.140
與此同時，一股新的運動正在興起。
4:27.140–4:28.837
這是橫濱的案例，
4:28.837–4:30.464
該市與便利商店合作
4:30.464–4:34.000
以減輕雙方的負擔。
4:34.840–4:35.080
是的。
4:35.600–4:39.616
自去年五月以來，他們每年為每家店提供78,
4:39.616–4:41.800
000至96,000日圓的補貼。
4:41.800–4:44.872
你可能會好奇為什麼他們針對這些商店，
4:44.872–4:47.740
但目標是將它們變成公共洗手間。
4:49.980–4:52.089
這是因為它們容易進入，而且
4:52.089–4:54.900
市政府希望解決公共廁所不足的問題。
4:54.900–5:01.160
至於為什麼他們專注於便利商店，原因如下。
5:02.800–5:05.940
建造新設施可能需要數千萬日圓。
5:07.220–5:09.481
考慮到橫濱的地點情況，
5:09.481–5:11.628
準備足夠數量會導
5:11.628–5:13.380
致成本如同建造一整棟房屋。
5:13.380–5:17.860
這就是為什麼他們希望有效利用現有的洗手間。
5:18.300–5:18.660
是的。
5:19.660–5:21.866
所以，我們探討了洗手間的問題，但
5:21.866–5:24.073
讓我們最後來看看我們視為理所當然的便利商
5:24.073–5:25.600
店服務。
5:26.820–5:27.260
沒錯。
5:27.580–5:29.220
首先是垃圾桶。
5:29.460–5:31.180
我們總是假設那裡會有垃圾桶，對吧？
5:31.300–5:33.123
但現在便利商店的垃圾桶
5:33.123–5:36.180
有將它們從店外移到店內的趨勢。
5:36.400–5:39.520
這是因為許多人將家庭垃圾丟在那裡。
5:39.520–5:41.995
接著是菸灰缸，最近我們較少看到，
5:41.995–5:44.020
不過是否設置由各家商店自行決定。
5:44.260–5:46.580
有些商店決定完全不提供，
5:46.580–5:49.440
出於對二手菸和環境的考量。
5:49.920–5:51.140
再來是停車場。
5:51.500–5:53.340
有人即使不在商店消費也會停車。
5:54.080–5:56.080
這造成了很多麻煩，對吧？
5:57.060–5:59.033
特別是垃圾桶，
5:59.033–6:00.260
因為它們在那裡已經太常見了。
6:00.440–6:03.520
我完全忘記了這其實是提供的一項服務。
6:03.720–6:04.340
你們怎麼看？
6:04.480–6:05.360
是啊，確實如此。
6:05.360–6:09.680
我們不應該將便利視為理所當然。
6:10.140–6:12.030
我們需要留意，
6:12.030–6:14.087
背後有許多不同的人投入了
6:14.087–6:16.700
大量的時間和精力，在使用便利商店時要記住這一點。
6:19.120–6:19.780
沒錯。
6:19.960–6:21.440
專家們也這麼說。
6:21.600–6:24.640
在日本，我們已經習慣於可以使用這些設施。
6:24.780–6:27.680
我們需要考慮到他們可能會停止允許人們使用的風險。
6:27.820–6:28.100
是啊。
6:28.100–6:32.417
當你出國時，商店允許你使用洗手間的情況非常少見，
6:32.417–6:35.760
所以我們必須意識到日本在這方面是特殊的。
6:36.640–6:38.620
我們應該總是記得說謝謝。
6:38.800–6:39.160
是的。
6:39.160–6:39.800
謝謝。
6:39.800–6:39.860
謝謝。
6:39.860–6:40.000
謝謝。

0:00.000–0:04.020
Yes, today we'd like to discuss how to use convenience store restrooms.
是的，今天我們想討論如何使用便利商店的廁所。
0:04.540–0:08.760
I'm sure you've all been grateful that a convenience store had a restroom available, right?
我相信大家都曾感激過便利商店提供廁所，對吧？
0:09.180–0:10.240
Yes, we have.
是的，我們確實有過這種感受。
0:10.820–0:13.087
So, when you use a convenience store restroom,
所以，當您使用便利商店的廁所時，
0:13.087–0:15.180
do you buy something as a token of thanks, or
您會買些東西作為感謝，還是
0:15.180–0:17.040
do you use it without buying anything?
什麼都不買就直接使用？
0:18.080–0:20.700
Trill looked into this for us. Here it is.
Trill 幫我們調查了這個問題。結果如下。
0:21.440–0:24.576
About 70% of people said they make a purchase, while
約有 70% 的人表示他們會購買商品，而
0:24.576–0:27.420
a certain number, nearly 30%, said they do not.
約有 30% 的人表示他們不會購買。
0:27.420–0:30.740
But they still answered that they use the restroom.
但他們仍然回答說他們確實使用了廁所。
0:32.000–0:33.920
Let's take a look at the various opinions.
讓我們來看看各種不同的意見。
0:34.780–0:35.660
Here they are.
這裡是相關的意見。
0:36.360–0:39.360
First, someone in their 40s who said they make a purchase.
首先，是一位表示會購買商品的 40 多歲人士。
0:39.960–0:42.040
I would feel guilty just using the restroom.
我覺得光是使用廁所就會感到內疚。
0:42.840–0:46.140
Since I'm using their facilities, I always buy at least a cheap snack.
既然使用了他們的設施，我總是至少會買個便宜的零食。
0:47.220–0:50.580
And I don't want the staff looking at me like I'm just there to use the toilet.
我也不希望店員看著我，覺得我只是來上廁所的。
0:51.800–0:53.620
That's why they chose to make a purchase.
這就是他們選擇購買商品的原因。
0:54.700–0:57.100
On the other hand, those who don't buy anything.
另一方面，那些什麼都不買的人。
0:57.420–1:02.160
A woman in her 20s said a 100 yen purchase might actually be an inconvenience for the staff.
一位 20 多歲的女性表示，購買 100 日圓的商品對店員來說反而可能是種負擔。
1:02.860–1:03.080
Oh.
哦。
1:03.300–1:04.880
Then, a man in his 70s.
接著，是一位 70 多歲的男性。
1:05.040–1:07.900
I consider it a free service provided by the convenience store.
我認為這是便利商店提供的免費服務。
1:08.080–1:10.080
And furthermore, a man in his 60s.
此外，還有一位 60 多歲的男性。
1:10.340–1:12.314
There was an opinion that they say thank you when
有人表示，他們在
1:12.314–1:14.980
borrowing it and when leaving the store, but don't buy anything.
借用廁所和離開商店時會說謝謝，但不會購買商品。
1:15.760–1:18.320
Well, there are many views, but what about you all?
嗯，觀點很多，但大家怎麼看呢？
1:18.680–1:21.560
I'm sure you've used a convenience store restroom before, but...
我相信大家以前都用過便利商店的廁所，但是……
1:21.560–1:22.500
What is your mindset?
您的想法是什麼？
1:22.860–1:24.220
Or do you buy something or not?
還是您會購買商品，或者不買？
1:24.300–1:25.180
How do you handle it?
您通常怎麼處理？
1:25.300–1:25.640
Yes.
是的。
1:25.960–1:28.300
I have borrowed a restroom without making a purchase.
我曾沒有購買商品就借用了廁所。
1:29.480–1:31.621
However, in those cases, for instance,
不過，在那些情況下，例如，
1:31.621–1:35.320
some stores these days have signs saying, please feel free to use it.
現在有些商店會貼出標示，寫著「歡迎自由使用」。
1:35.580–1:38.164
But if they don't, I ask the staff, excuse me,
但如果有店沒有標示，我會詢問店員，不好意思，
1:38.164–1:39.560
may I use your restroom?
我可以借用您的廁所嗎？
1:39.560–1:41.220
And if they say it's fine,
如果他們說沒問題，
1:41.220–1:44.540
I make an effort to use it without buying anything.
我會努力在不購買商品的情況下使用廁所。
1:45.080–1:46.660
Um hum, when you're with your child.
嗯嗯，當您帶著孩子時。
1:49.720–1:51.399
Right, when my kids were little and
沒錯，當我的孩子還小，並且
1:51.399–1:53.020
suddenly said they had to go, we wo
突然說他們得走了，我們有
1:53.020–1:54.757
uld sometimes rely on a convenience
時候會依賴便利
1:54.757–1:57.883
store, but I feel that rather than leaving empty-handed, I'd buy
商店，但我覺得與其空手離開，還不如買點東西表達我的感激之情。
1:57.883–1:59.620
something to express my gratitude.
是啊，確實如此，不是嗎？
1:59.620–2:04.500
Yeah, that's true, isn't it?
嗯，大家，我相信你們各有不同的看法，
2:04.620–2:07.119
Well, everyone, I'm sure you have various opinions,
但在今天的會議之後，我真的設身處地為便利商店的工作人員著想了。
2:07.119–2:09.561
but after our meeting today, I've really put myself
抱歉。
2:09.561–2:12.060
in the shoes of those who work at convenience stores.
如果我說得太嚴肅，請糾正我。
2:12.720–2:13.520
Sorry about that.
是的。
2:13.680–2:16.240
If I start sounding too earnest, please correct me.
那麼，首先，讓我們來看看三個重點。
2:16.420–2:16.720
Yes.
首先，便利商店實際上是何時開始提供洗手間服務的？
2:16.940–2:19.160
So, first, let's look at three points.
我們詢問了羅森（Lawson）。
2:20.540–2:21.435
To start with, when
原本，洗手間嚴格來說是在後院供員工使用，
2:21.435–2:24.680
did convenience stores actually begin offering restroom services?
所以它們位於後方。
2:26.500–2:27.740
We asked Lawson.
偶爾，如果顧客要求，他們會允許顧客使用，
2:27.740–2:32.154
Originally, the restrooms were strictly in the backyard for employees to use,
但基本上，它們位於後方。
2:32.154–2:33.960
so they were located in the back.
然後，從1997年開始，
2:36.080–2:38.714
Occasionally, they would let customers use them if asked,
似乎出現了希望隨時使用洗手間的聲音。
2:38.714–2:40.380
but basically, they were in the back.
從那時候起，
2:41.300–2:42.877
Then, from 1997 onwards,
這引發了一場運動
2:42.877–2:46.480
it seems there were voices wanting to use them at any time.
，宣布洗手間對公眾開放，
2:46.640–2:47.619
From that point on,
並在店內安裝洗手間。
2:47.619–2:48.537
it led to a movemen
現在，我想詳細探討我們每天使用的便利商店洗手間的實際使用情况。
2:48.537–2:49.516
t of declaring rest
這裡有數據。
2:49.516–2:52.760
rooms open to the public and installing them inside the stores.
當我們調查這些便利商店洗手間的實際使用情况時，
2:52.760–2:58.640
Now, I would like to look in detail at the actual usage of the convenience store restrooms we use every day.
嗯，全國大約有14,000家商店。
2:59.300–3:00.100
Here it is.
截至去年11月的每日洗手間使用人數，
3:00.620–3:04.376
When we look into the actual usage of these convenience store restrooms,
據報導約為100萬人。
3:04.376–3:06.900
well, there are about 14,000 stores nationwide.
哦。
3:07.640–3:10.022
Daily restroom usage, as of last November,
所以，我想請大家思考這個問題。
3:10.022–3:12.140
is reportedly about 1 million people.
每年消耗的衛生紙數量。
3:12.600–3:12.820
Oh.
相當多。
3:12.820–3:15.040
So, I want you to think about this.
很多，不是嗎？
3:15.920–3:18.000
The amount of toilet paper consumed annually.
很驚人，不是嗎？
3:18.660–3:19.740
It's quite a lot.
一言以蔽之，你可能無法想像。
3:19.860–3:20.940
It's a lot, isn't it?
我來告訴你答案。
3:21.000–3:22.400
It's amazing, isn't it?
這個。
3:22.480–3:24.700
In a word, you might not be able to fathom it.
總之，你可能無法想像。
3:25.300–3:26.440
I'll show you the answer.
我來告訴你答案。
3:26.780–3:27.140
This.
就是這個。
3:28.200–3:29.920
It's about 10 million rolls.
大約是1,000萬捲。
3:30.660–3:32.900
Even 1,000 rolls would be surprising.
即使是1,000捲也令人驚訝。
3:32.900–3:35.400
But this is about 10 million rolls.
但這可是大約1,000萬捲。
3:36.180–3:38.120
So, our program looked into it.
所以，我們的程式進行了調查。
3:38.220–3:40.580
Let's assume you buy 8 rolls of toilet paper.
假設你買了8捲衛生紙。
3:41.000–3:43.080
Let's say it costs about 500 yen.
假設價格大約是500日圓。
3:43.600–3:47.540
By simple calculation, that comes to 640 million yen.
簡單計算下來，總共是6.4億日圓。
3:48.280–3:50.920
Naturally, this cost falls on the store's side.
自然，這筆費用是由店家承擔。
3:51.960–3:53.520
We must be aware of that.
我們必須意識到這一點。
3:54.100–3:55.819
And furthermore, since it's a restroom,
而且，因為這是洗手間，
3:55.819–3:57.640
there are burdens other than toilet paper.
除了衛生紙之外還有其他負擔。
3:57.840–4:00.620
Water bills, electricity bills, cleaning, and inspections.
水費、電費、清潔和檢查。
4:00.900–4:01.700
Who does all this?
這些都是誰在做呢？
4:01.700–4:03.600
It's the staff members, isn't it?
是店員們，對吧？
4:05.100–4:08.600
So, I want you to keep in mind that there are burdens in various ways.
所以，我希望你記住，各方面都有負擔。
4:12.400–4:14.319
On the other hand, Lawson says that while
另一方面，羅森表示，雖然
4:14.319–4:16.520
customers aren't required to make a purchase,
顧客不需要購買商品，
4:16.940–4:20.482
doing so allows them to dedicate a portion of those earnings to the maintenance and
但購買商品可以將部分收益用於洗手間的維護和
4:20.482–4:21.560
upkeep of the restrooms.
保養。
4:24.320–4:27.140
And in the midst of this, a new movement is emerging.
與此同時，一股新的運動正在興起。
4:27.140–4:28.837
This is a case from Yokohama,
這是橫濱的案例，
4:28.837–4:30.464
where the city is teaming up
該市與便利商店合作
4:30.464–4:34.000
with convenience stores to reduce the burden on both sides.
以減輕雙方的負擔。
4:34.840–4:35.080
Yeah.
是的。
4:35.600–4:39.616
Since last May, they have been providing subsidies ranging from 78,
自去年五月以來，他們每年為每家店提供78,
4:39.616–4:41.800
000 to 96,000 yen per store annually.
000至96,000日圓的補貼。
4:41.800–4:44.872
You might wonder why they're targeting these stores,
你可能會好奇為什麼他們針對這些商店，
4:44.872–4:47.740
but the goal is to turn them into public restrooms.
但目標是將它們變成公共洗手間。
4:49.980–4:52.089
This is because they are easy to access, and
這是因為它們容易進入，而且
4:52.089–4:54.900
the city wants to address the shortage of public toilets.
市政府希望解決公共廁所不足的問題。
4:54.900–5:01.160
And as for why they focused on convenience stores, here is the reason.
至於為什麼他們專注於便利商店，原因如下。
5:02.800–5:05.940
Building new facilities can cost tens of millions of yen.
建造新設施可能需要數千萬日圓。
5:07.220–5:09.481
Given the location circumstances in Yokohama,
考慮到橫濱的地點情況，
5:09.481–5:11.628
preparing a sufficient number of them would c
準備足夠數量會導
5:11.628–5:13.380
ost as much as building a whole house.
致成本如同建造一整棟房屋。
5:13.380–5:17.860
That is why they want to make effective use of existing restrooms.
這就是為什麼他們希望有效利用現有的洗手間。
5:18.300–5:18.660
Yeah.
是的。
5:19.660–5:21.866
So, we've looked at the issue of restrooms, but
所以，我們探討了洗手間的問題，但
5:21.866–5:24.073
let's wrap up by looking at the convenience sto
讓我們最後來看看我們視為理所當然的便利商
5:24.073–5:25.600
re services we take for granted.
店服務。
5:26.820–5:27.260
Yes.
沒錯。
5:27.580–5:29.220
First, there are the trash cans.
首先是垃圾桶。
5:29.460–5:31.180
We just assume they'll be there, right?
我們總是假設那裡會有垃圾桶，對吧？
5:31.300–5:33.123
But these convenience store trash cans,
但現在便利商店的垃圾桶
5:33.123–5:36.180
there is a trend now of moving them from outside to inside the stores.
有將它們從店外移到店內的趨勢。
5:36.400–5:39.520
That's because many people have been disposing of their household trash there.
這是因為許多人將家庭垃圾丟在那裡。
5:39.520–5:41.995
Then there are ashtrays, which we see less of lately,
接著是菸灰缸，最近我們較少看到，
5:41.995–5:44.020
though their placement is up to each store.
不過是否設置由各家商店自行決定。
5:44.260–5:46.580
Some stores have decided not to provide them at all,
有些商店決定完全不提供，
5:46.580–5:49.440
out of consideration for passive smoking and the environment.
出於對二手菸和環境的考量。
5:49.920–5:51.140
Then there are the parking lots.
再來是停車場。
5:51.500–5:53.340
People park there without using the store.
有人即使不在商店消費也會停車。
5:54.080–5:56.080
That causes a lot of trouble, doesn't it?
這造成了很多麻煩，對吧？
5:57.060–5:59.033
Especially with the trash cans, it's just so
特別是垃圾桶，
5:59.033–6:00.260
common that they're there.
因為它們在那裡已經太常見了。
6:00.440–6:03.520
I had completely forgotten that this is actually provided as a service.
我完全忘記了這其實是提供的一項服務。
6:03.720–6:04.340
What do you think?
你們怎麼看？
6:04.480–6:05.360
Yeah, indeed.
是啊，確實如此。
6:05.360–6:09.680
We shouldn't just take convenience for granted.
我們不應該將便利視為理所當然。
6:10.140–6:12.030
We need to be mindful that so much time and
我們需要留意，
6:12.030–6:14.087
effort from many different people goes into
背後有許多不同的人投入了
6:14.087–6:16.700
it, and keep that in mind when we use convenience stores.
大量的時間和精力，在使用便利商店時要記住這一點。
6:19.120–6:19.780
That's right.
沒錯。
6:19.960–6:21.440
Experts are saying the same thing.
專家們也這麼說。
6:21.600–6:24.640
In Japan, we've come to take it for granted that we'll be allowed to use them.
在日本，我們已經習慣於可以使用這些設施。
6:24.780–6:27.680
We need to consider the risk that they might stop letting people use them.
我們需要考慮到他們可能會停止允許人們使用的風險。
6:27.820–6:28.100
Yeah.

影片筆記：コンビニトイレ借りたら買い物する？しない？1日約100万人の利用で負担…“無料サービス”にも限界【Nスタ解説】｜TBS NEWS DIG

一句話總結

日本便利商店每日約有 100 萬人使用廁所，雖有七成顧客購買商品以表謝意，但仍有三成不購買者視為「免費服務」；隨著使用量帶來的衛生紙、水電及清潔成本激增，地方政府（如橫濱市）開始提供補助鼓勵店家開放廁所，節目呼籲民眾不應將這些服務視為理所當然，應體諒店家的人力與成本。

核心重點

使用習慣分歧：調查顯示約 70% 顧客會購買商品以表達感謝，但近 30% 顧客不購買直接使用，認為這是便利商店提供的「免費服務」。
龐大的營運成本：全國約 14,000 家便利商店每日廁所使用人數達 100 萬人，每年消耗約 1,000 萬捲衛生紙，僅衛生紙成本就高達約 6.4 億日圓，加上水電、清潔與檢查費用，對店家構成顯著負擔。
歷史演變與政策介入：便利商店廁所從 1997 年起因應公眾需求，從員工專用改為公共設施。為解決公共廁所不足問題，橫濱市自去年 5 月起提供每間商店每年 78,000 至 96,000 日圓的補助，鼓勵將廁所轉為公共設施使用。
其他被忽視的服務：除了廁所，便利商店提供的垃圾桶（現多移至店內）、香菸架與停車場等服務皆非理所當然，背後涉及人力與成本，應養成說謝謝的習慣。

詳細大綱

1. 便利商店廁所使用習慣調查

數據呈現：
約 70% 的顧客會購買商品以表達感謝。
近 30% 的顧客不購買商品直接使用。
顧客觀點訪談：
購買派觀點：
感到內疚，不想讓店員覺得自己只來上廁所。
傾向購買便宜零食作為謝意。
有小孩的家庭傾向購買以表達感謝。
不購買派觀點：
認為購買 100 日圓商品對店員反而是麻煩（可能涉及找零或小額交易處理）。
視為便利商店提供的免費服務。
離開時會口頭說謝謝。
主持人與來賓經驗分享：
若店內有標示「歡迎使用」則不購買。
若無標示，會先詢問店員。

2. 便利商店廁所的歷史與現況

歷史演變：
早期廁所位於後方，僅供員工使用。
1997 年起因應公眾需求，開始將廁所設於店內並對外開放。
使用數據與成本負擔：
規模：全國約 14,000 家商店，每日使用人數約 100 萬人。
耗材成本：每年消耗約 1,000 萬捲衛生紙。
費用估算：僅衛生紙成本（假設每 8 捲 500 日圓）約為 6.4 億日圓。
其他成本：水費、電費、清潔與檢查費用均由店員承擔。
Lawson 的立場：
雖不強制購買，但購買行為可將部分收益用於廁所維護。

3. 地方政府與便利商店的合作案例

橫濱市案例：
目的：解決公共廁所不足問題，將便利商店廁所轉為公共廁所使用。
補助金額：每間商店每年 78,000 至 96,000 日圓。
背景原因：新建公共廁所成本高昂（數千萬日圓），利用現有設施更具效益。

4. 便利商店其他常被忽視的服務

垃圾桶：因民眾丟棄家庭垃圾，趨勢從店外移至店內。
香菸架：考量被動吸菸與環境因素，部分商店決定不提供。
停車場：常有未消費者停車造成困擾。
結論呼籲：
不應將這些服務視為理所當然。
應體諒背後的人力與成本。
養成說謝謝的習慣。

橫濱市（Yokohama）：日本地方政府，提供補助鼓勵便利商店開放廁所。

操作流程整理

確認標示：進入便利商店前，觀察是否有「歡迎使用」廁所的標示。
判斷行為：

若有標示：可直接使用，無需購買。
若無標示：建議先詢問店員，或購買便宜商品以表達感謝。

使用廁所：使用完畢後，若選擇不購買，應口頭說謝謝。
日常體諒：使用便利商店提供的垃圾桶、香菸架或停車場時，應意識到這些並非理所當然的服務，並保持感謝心態。

值得注意的限制或風險

成本負擔：便利商店需承擔衛生紙、水電、清潔與檢查等費用，對店家構成不小負擔。
公共資源壓力：每日 100 萬人的使用量導致耗材消耗極快（每年 1,000 萬捲衛生紙）。
服務非強制性：便利商店提供的廁所、垃圾桶、香菸架與停車場並非法律強制義務，店家有權根據自身情況調整（如將垃圾桶移至店內、取消香菸架）。
濫用風險：部分顧客不購買直接使用，或消費者在停車場未消費卻停車，可能影響店家營運與顧客體驗。

100 yen purchase might actually be an inconvenience：語意上指購買 100 日圓的商品可能對店員造成不便（需找零或處理小額交易），此為口語表達，非明顯錯字，但語境需留意。
640 million yen：計算邏輯為 1,000 萬捲 / 8 捲 * 500 日圓 = 6.25 億日圓，逐字稿稱 "640 million yen"，數字略有出入，保留原稿說法。
tens of millions of yen：描述新建設施成本，為模糊計量詞，保留原稿。
