Japanese Convenience Store Bill Paying

When my ECT (highway toll card) bill arrives each month I head to Seven Eleven to pay it.
The bill, which has been as high as $350 USD depending on my travel for the month, has a bar code that the clerk scans to make the transaction. The money is then sent to the payee through 7-11. A credit or debit card isn’t accepted, and it hasn’t ceased feeling strange to be using that amount of cash at a convenience store.
