INTRODUCTION
"Hello and welcome to my weekly blog! My name is Angel, and I will be going to stores and different jobs to get an opinion on them so you don't have to.
This is the first blog of this series, and I hope you'll stick around for more. Today we are visiting Hayabusa, a new shop in town that is all about sports!"
...
"Let's read the introduction that is found on the shop's website!"
We are a well-established sports store that is located in Karakura, Japan.
Being a brand new shop in Karakura, we strive to serve top-quality products with our core purpose to have everyone enjoy everything.
Headed by our own native Peregrine Falcon, Tenkai, this store is not strictly for sports members, but it's for everyone.
Hayabusa aims to provide top-quality customer service and strives to serve top-quality products.
"That sounds promesing, doesn't it? Let's head over! The shop is located behind the Auction House next to the fountain."
1249 / 19 / 916
"Okay, we're here! The outside is quite simple yet very inviting. Let's head inside!"
...
"Oooo, a boxing machine to test our strength as well as a pool table. This shop doesn't just sell things but is also entertaining! Plus points!
I see a lot of shelves, and a lot of decoration, but it doesn't feel crowded. The atmosphere is welcoming and yet booming with activity.
Let's head over to the cash registers."
...
"Two cashiers are on shift, and there's two registers! Seems fitting. I read on their website that they just recently added 6 new hires!
The shopkeeper is also present, we'll get to him later! Let's check out the back."
...
"A lot of posters, I really like it. There's a soccer goal as well as a planned mini-basketball space! Seems like you can also learn how to play sports in here instead of only buying equipment. Let's look at their inventory, shall we?"
"They have quite the nice inventory! A lot of variety but not too much to be overwhelming. Let's take a look at the different items."

"Okay. Let's go approach the Shopkeeper, Marcel Kurz!"
[!] A short video recording was shown with Marcel as main focus [!]
"Good evening, Mr Kurz! How are you today?"
"I’m doing wonderful! Thank you for coming up to me and asking for an interview!"
...
"Could I ask you a few questions about you and your shop?"
"Yeah of course! I’ll be willing to answer anything."
...
"What's your name and how old are you?"
"My name is Marcel Kurz and I’m.." He started to smile, knowing he was going to get laughed at for his age from other viewers. "30."
...
"Have you always lived in Karakura?"
"Actually no! so I moved here when I was 18 from Munich, Germany and I have loved it since! I’ve had no regrets moving here whatsoever."
...
"What makes Hayabusa unique? And what motivated you to become a shopkeeper?"
Marcel cleared his throat. "Well what I think makes my store unique is that it's the ONLY sports store here in town! There is no other store like this and nobody is doing it the way we are." He paused for a moment to answer before answering the second question. "My motivation would be actually from my first job. Most of the town knows me from working at the school and I was a PE teacher. I was also on the bobcat basketball team at one point and I just honestly really loved sports. I was a PE teacher for a while and I reminded myself that theres no sports store in town and it'll be a great addition. So that's my motivation in opening up one and I have some great things planned for the future that you guys should look forward to."
...
"What is something you'd like to tell everyone to keep them motivated to achieve their goals?"
"Motivation isn’t something you wait for. . It’s something to build through consistency. You’re not always going to feel inspired, but if you show up and keep doing the small things everyday, progress will stack up. Overtime, that progress that you have done starts to become your motivation. So how I like to think of it is instead of focusing on how far away the goal is, focus on getting 1% better everyday to help build up to that goal."
...
"Thank you for answering all my questions, Mr Kurz!"
[!] The video recording ended. [!]
"Let's recap, shall we?"
...
"The location is well placed, quite close to school, just a small walk away. It's perfect for all the sport teams of Karakura High!
The inventory is unique and has a lot of variety, it's great for starters and pro players. The staff are quite friendly and are always ready to help out,
and the shopkeeper is a very kind man, ready to help out and answer questions."
...
"Now to our rating! Overall I'm placing this shop on S-Tier! It's unique, it's fresh, it's what Karakura needs."
