National Taiwan University sociology professor Tseng Yen-fen says, "Convenience stores are like the bells of the modern city, faithfully reflecting the chronological rhythms of the lives of Taipei residents. Or perhaps even better, they are mirrors, reflecting the intense work ethic of Taiwanese society."
台大社會系教授曾嬿芬如此形容：「便利商店像城市的大鐘，忠誠反映台北人生活的時間節奏，更像一面鏡子，映照出拚命工作的台灣社會。」
