Unmanned roadside stores in Japan

Passing through Western New York to a family member’s funeral I saw dozens of these in rural areas. Usually they were selling sweet corn or asparagus. The one I stopped at had an old metal lunch box screwed to the table with a luggage lock on the hasp. You dropped your money in through a slit in the top. It wouldn’t have stopped anyone who really wanted to steal it, but it was enough to keep the honest, honest.
