Won't Miss #2 - the herd mentality

Posted on 00:01 by Unknown
When something becomes very popular in Japan, people tend to flock to it and huge lines are the result. That means that if you are curious about something or genuinely like it, you have to wait a very long time in a line (sometimes for hours) to sample a popular food or service.I won't miss waiting in long lines just to try something new or popular.
