I explained ( read : TRIED to explain ) that I just needed some garbage bags , and he told me they had garbage bags , but that what I was looking for did n't exist in all of Japan . Not that he 'd just " never seen those , " or that they , " did n't carry them , " but that they DID NOT EXIST . ANYWHERE IN JAPAN . His exact words . The hell , old man .

Why would n't garbage bags be in Japan ?
None of the above choices .
