Local game store clerk when checking out [in English]: Do you have a passport? (ie: to receive tax free benefits if I were a tourist)
Me [in Japanese]: Nah, I'm a resident here in [city].
Clerk [in Japanese]: Oh, no kidding?
Me [facetiously]: Yeah, sucks to be me, though (because I have to pay the 10% sales tax like any upstanding citizen).
Clerk: What are you talking about? I think it's awesome you live here!
Me: 🥹🥹🥹
