FamilyMart is divided into direct-operated stores and franchise fees. The appearance of a directly-operated store can be judged by the business badge on the clerk's chest. Those with a barcode on the business badge are directly-operated stores; directly-operated stores with all numbers on the badge are franchise stores. Other appearances are generally difficult to distinguish. Internal structure: Employees in direct-operated stores generally work 9-hour shifts, and their wages are paid by FamilyMart. Employees in franchise stores generally work 12 hours, and their wages are paid out of the pockets of the store managers who join the store.
