lol that gum scraping thing looks like it could be an 'oddly satisfying' chore for ppl who can put up with it/something recently 'fresh' but other than hiring a third party it'd be nice if they were just given like some chemicals to break it down /let it soak like the day before a rainstorm is expected (or a 'punishment' for any elementary schoolers causing trouble)
but can't imagine ppl doing it here unless it's locally owned or right outside their doorstep since there's def potholes around the places i've been to (tho i guess that's more of a city thing as well, wouldn't be surprised if this store was more privately owned to where they had to pay to maintain it)
For some reason this chapter of shima san and a chapter of chihiro san came together on my feed, this double features is perfect, they all are so different and so smiliar mangas
