There are trashcans outside of practically every convenience store, which exist about every 100 feet. They don't expect you to go walking off eating or drinking whatever you just bought. People hang outside the store, eat/drink/smoke, discard their waste and carry on. It's just a different culture and societal expectation.

When in Rome.

That was my expectation too, but recent experience at the tail end of COVID (~5 months ago), this was absolutely not the case-- I assume to stop people from congregating during the pandemic.

There are always trashcans in the convenience stores though, especially near the microwaves and coffee machines.
