Why this phrase
Japanese bakeries and depachika counters do not bag as you pick. Staff keep the tray, hand you a numbered paddle, a 番号札, and call the number when the bag is ready. Walk off with the pastry in your head and someone else eats it. Hold the paddle until you hear 十七番のお客様. One takeaway: the paddle is your receipt, and the call is your name.
