{{OccupationA '''convenience store''' is a type of [[individual shop]]. In Youkai-go, a convenience store is called a '''konbini''' ('''コンビニ'''). Convenience stores sell a variety of common, everyday supplies, such as [[food]], [[ammunition]], [[meds|first aid]], and various other items. Convenience stores are guaranteed in each town and are found in the Social Square Center instead of the Shop Hub. Like with weapon retailers ([[Forge| name={{{nameForges]], [[Gun shop|{{{1gun shops]] and [[Weapon shop|{{PAGENAME}}}}}}}}weapon shops]]), convenience stores may belong to one of five different chains. Each chain offers different services, such as raffle tickets, additional items, or donation boxes. = Shop rules = Opening hours:* [[Towns]]: 24 hours a day, six days per week. '''Closed on Breakday''' for inventory. * [[Intersections]]: 12 hours a day ('''night shift only'''), six days per week. '''Closed on Breakday''' for inventory.Convenience stores sell the following items:* A fixed assortment of various items. See the [[Convenience store#Inventory| imagesection below]].Convenience stores may also:* '''Does not buy back items'''. All sales are final.* Accept payment in '''[[valuables| occupation_dispcash or appraised valuables]]'''* Provide '''store credit''' (valid at all stores of the same chain)** Shops do not normally return change; it is automatically converted into store credit instead.* '''Transfer''' store credit into a customer's '''bank account''' (for a fee, see [[Bank]]). * Provide a '''delivery service''' into a customer's '''bank vault''' (for a fee and if the vault has enough space remaining, see [[Bank]]) = Inventory =Neutral Convenience stores sell a fixed assortment of items divided into four aisles:* [[Convenience store#Food aisle| occupation_ua=Food aisle]]* [[File:Yes box.pngConvenience store#Ammo aisle|25pxAmmo aisle]]* [[Convenience store#Meds aisle| occupation_humanMeds aisle]]* [[Convenience store#Misc aisle|Misc aisle]] == Food aisle ==Fixed selection of [[food]] items in four rows, 1d20 of each: === Row 1 === {| class="wikitable sortable" style="font-size:10pt"|-!

The term ''escort'Angelstop' is synonymous and partially interchangeable with ''prostitute'': The convenience store chain operated by [[Heaven, Ltd. Escorts consider that prostitution is specifically the sexual aspect ]], featuring [[shrine maiden]] staff.* Features a donation box and access to all of their job and that the word "prostitute" does not fully encompass regular services offered by shrine maidens at the range of services they can offer, which ranges from simple companionship to advanced sexual services[[shrine]].
There are two broad categories of escort work; independent '''Circle H''': The convenience store chain operated by [[Hell, Inc.]], featuring [[dark maiden]] personnel.* Features a donation box and organizedaccess to all of the regular services offered by dark maidens at the [[sanctum]].
Organized escorts are the most common. An organized escort works for an ''escort ring'Special: Diamond Hot Dogs', led by '': This unique store has a [[Escort boss|boss]] (pimp or madam)hot-dog themed interior. They usually work within a designated area; usually a single town. Large rings may operate in larger geographic areas. An organized escort must pay a percentage The food aisle here only sells four types of their earnings (ranging from 15% to 75%) to their boss in exchange for protection and fulfillment of basic needs, usually [[food]] and shelter.

Many escorts work in a [[strip club]], where they are also expected to perform strip dances and keep company to customers who request the "host/hostess" or "girlfriend/boyfriend" experiences. It is customary for escorts to push their customers to bring alcoholic drinks to share, [[valuable]] gifts (especially [[jewelry store|custom jewelry]]), or to go for one of the more expensive club services.
The [[Yatela Crime Syndicate]] is thought to possess the largest network of escort rings. They are known for their aggressiveness towards competing networks and independents, usually harassing or attacking their customers, coercing them into assimilation into the Syndicate's own network, or driving them out of business through more violent methods. This campaign of domination of the escort industry - nicknamed ''Operation Toss The Pineapples'', referencing the stereotypically unpopular pineapple pizza - is thought to have begun in [[History of the Mazes|E7-694]]. Within 2 years, the Syndicate gained control of a majority of escort bosses across the Mazes and managed to successfully suppress legitimate youkai escort businesses, virtually driving all of them out of existence.= Chain locations =
