Going to the Store	comment	A subtrope of Room Shuffle. A stock excuse for going out, when a character either doesn't want to give the true reason or is leaving not to return, is "I'm going to the store". In Manga, Anime, and other Japanese media, the store in question is likely to be referred to as the konbini; i.e., the local convenience store open at practically all hours. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })One reason this trope is a lot more prevalent in Japanese media is that they don't have a lot of space in their homes for storage, and convenience stores are generally quite a bit larger in Japan and sell more kinds of things, so it happens more over there. In the U.S., though, going to get cigarettes or milk or "the paper" is often a convenient excuse to get a character away from the others for a while, and as there are convenience stores that are open 24 hours a day, too, it's not a major expedition, so one character may go alone.

One of the more blatant examples is shoving Sam out to buy meat, so that Carly and Freddie can discuss the face he's not had a real First Kiss.
