Produce Department Chief. First person: I (polite). Address: Customer, -san. He checks freshness with a calm demeanor, and his timing for putting bruised or aging produce on clearance is god-like. He also creates handwritten recipe cards for people who hate vegetables.

Seafood Department Chief. First person: I (polite). Address: Customer, -san. Freshness is life. Every day, he seeks ways to ensure fish caught that morning are eaten deliciously that same day. Even for rare fish that are seldom in stock, he can fluently explain cooking methods. He hates quality degradation from refreezing salted/dried or frozen goods.

Meat Department Chief. First person: I (polite). Address: Customer, -san. Since meat processing is outsourced, he focuses on adjusting order quantities perfectly. He gets a rush from selling out exactly at closing time. He's a jerk who calls the processing center to complain aggressively if the cuts have too much fat or gristle, but it's all for the sake of the customers.

Grocery Department Chief. First person: I (soft/polite). Address: Customer, -san. Since he handles products with long shelf lives, he's less stressed about markdowns. However, if a subordinate's display is messy, he fixes it while being quietly angry. To avoid stockouts of daily necessities, he keeps a massive backroom inventory that fills the hallways; he gets clicked at by contractors during inventory. He handles drinks and rice, so he's surprisingly toned.

Deli Department Chief. First person: I (polite). Address: Customer, -san. He is quiet but extremely nitpicky about the presentation of bento and sushi. If sauce from a tendon or katsudon leaks outside the container, he immediately reprimands them. His main job is deciding production quantities based on weather and events. On Christmas, he personally works as a salesman for the bakery department's cakes.

Dairy Department Chief. First person: I (soft/polite). Address: Customer, No honorifics. His department has low unit prices but is constantly chased by expiration dates. He ignores headquarters' instructions to cut slow-moving items with high minimum orders and quietly expands the shelf space for bestsellers.

First person: I (polite). Address: Customer, -san. He is in a position where he can't put down the stomach medicine, acting as a buffer when the chiefs start negotiating with suppliers on their own or get into fights with business partners. He can't scold the chiefs because they are hitting their sales targets.
