Why this phrase

Kofuku plays the tourist in a Japanese supermarket produce aisle. Hana plays the clerk. Japan Decoded: loose fruit and veg often have no barcode until YOU weigh them, print a sticker, and stick it on the bag. The rescue phrase is 「計量はどこですか?」. Hana points them to the scale. Grocery-tourism angle (2026 trend), not a drill. Scene is the produce scale, not the konbini.
