Probably just kids being kids. High schoolers everywhere find ways to leave their mark, even in seemingly perfect places. That immaculate setting probably just makes the graffiti stand out more.

Kids talk amongst themselves; she might know more than she lets on. Otherwise, chalk it up to adolescent rebellion and the enduring allure of a sharpie.

It's a beautiful place, regardless of the teenage shenanigans.

Bulk buying, probably. And ridiculously efficient logistics. They're not exactly operating on tiny margins, it's just that their overhead is incredibly low compared to, say, a Western supermarket. Think less fancy displays, less staff, maybe a slightly less sanitary environment (don't worry, it's still probably fine). It's the Hong Kong way – get it done, get it cheap.
