Tokyo Redline, Nihonbashi: Three Coupons That Contradict Each Other, and the One Number That Would Settle It Isn't Printed
Tokyo Redline is filed on Cityheaven under Nihonbashi-Kyobashi in Chuo ward and its delivery-area field lists exactly one place: Kanda, in Chiyoda. It runs three simultaneous coupons whose windows, durations and reference prices do not agree with its own price list, and which cannot be ranked against each other because the deciding variable — the transportation fee — is never published. Meanwhile the shift board is one of the most honest I've read all year, and the shop's cheapest hour is the one nobody works.
