Some street vendors in Japan will offer to play Rock, Paper, Scissors with the customer.
Customer wins there is no charge. Vendor wins and full price is charged for the purchase.


I won one time. I did not even know what we were playing for. It happened to be a sweet treat.
Visit other vendors and sooner or later you will find "street meat"

It was exciting to play the game even through the language barrier, the merchant spoke little English and my Japanese was poor.

But hey, it's rock paper scissors, for goodness’ sake.


The Japanese are interesting on many levels.

How a game of rock, paper, scissors decided a $20 million auction consignment

The Japanese electronics giant Maspro Denkoh Corporation had decided to auction off works from its art collection -- described in an interview with NPR by Jonathan Rendell, a deputy chairman at Christie's, as "a jewel in the crown" -- worth about $20 million, during the Impressionist and modern art sales in New York. Unable to choose whether to consign the trove to Sotheby's or Christie's, company president Takashi Hashiyama put the decision in the auction houses' hands: Representatives from each company would visit Maspro's Tokyo office to compete in a game of rock, paper, scissors.
