Comment

This is one of the few stocks that gives you something for holding a single share.  I find the usage to be kind of annoying, the tickets will add up if you want to make a major purchase, but the 2000 yen requirement for using it will make it annoying for more frequent, smaller purchases, especially if there isn't a Joshin near where you live. Nojima has a similar 10% off system, but with no minimum purchase requirement.
