Even at golf courses, there is a difference in the number of food and drinks at the stores on the course, such as a place where the tax rate is the same as the 10% tax rate for eating out to prevent confusion.
At the store located beside the course of the golf course, playing golfers can stop by and buy coffee and sandwiches to drink and eat in the store and on the course.
