Jay's Tips!
"Don't waste your money!"
Tips for when you visit Korea Mart
Tip 1. When you use the cart in a mart, you need 100 won coin.
(If you don't have a coin, ask the staff around carts and they will help you.)
1. Put a coin into the coin hall.
2. Push the coin.
3. Cart will be separated from other carts connected.
Tip 2. After paying, if you have many goods to bring, you'd better use the box prepared in front of counter.
If you need a back to carry your good, you need to buy it at the counter. (100 won ??)
But if you have too many goods, you need to pack your goods with box, which is free, and you should do it yourself.
You can see many Koreans packing their goods with box, so you can just do what they are doing.

<Use the plastic tape and strap>
Tip 3. It's not easy to find the goods you want, so prepare a photo and ask the any staff in the mart, they will guide you very kindly.
(Every thing is written in Korea in marts.)
<Staffs of marts are very kind.>
Tip 4. All the tastings are free of charge. Don't worry.
Taste all as many as you want.
<Free tasting>
Tip 5. It's very crowded with people on weekends, so you'd better visit there on weekdays.
