As much as I'm enjoying this interdimensional "mary sue" anime, there are SO many loopholes the anime is just glazing over like ???

Casually overpricing everything??? Commoners aren't going to spend sliver coins so willy nilly (I'm assuming commers don't make much but >_>) ,,,Commoners would label your store for nobles based on the "exotic" goods and prices driving away business in the first place...AND she's still making hella profit from the silver alone, even if it isn't gold???

Nonchalantly advancing their society hundreds of years??? How are you going to casually bring flashlights, hairdryers, and a FKIN PS4?!? How would you even explain the concept of electricity, lightbulbs, batteries, or video games???

The laid-back nature of her bringing MF plastic/e-waste to their world!!! Where and how does she plan to do with all the waste she'd be creating from her ONE store??? (plastic water bottles, tinfoil, batteries, plastic, etc..) Plus the batteries she'll eventually have to sell to the public (cuz of the flashlights) without properly explaining the dangers of leaking/used batteries or how easily children can eat them??? (how to get executed for dummies)

FINALLY, running the risk of being executed over accusations of being a witch???? Like maybe she could've gotten away with it if she had just observed her surrounding for a couple of days and their manner of transporting goods. But having all of this stuff without a plausible explanation is SUICIDE! God forbid she unintentionally starts a "world" war over her and the power of having a monopoly on her "exotic" goods,,,

I mean, they'd instantly accused her of being a witch by serving FISH... my head hurts istg 💀

Hahahaha, you're certainly not alone. Made pretty much similar comment. I saw how you're told to just "turn off brain when watching". I mean, there's a limit to stupidity too.
This episode crossed the line of "tolerable stupidity" by a big margin IMO.

Just my 2 cents: why the hell did she act so stupid and assumed that everything handy in her world will also be useful in a medieval one? She acted smart and prepared everything as best as she could, but then she just buys tons of things that looks like an alien teleported crazy stuff from 500 years in the future to that time. She could just have asked somebody on the street "What would you like to have or use?" and then buy that... I'm furious right now about how bad this was handled, completely going against her former business logic.

Simply, you're pretty much spot on about it. Mitsuha didn't care about environmental pollution to Isekai or endanger herself & someone else's lives. Because she can (almost) always leave with teleporting. All she cares about is making more money. She noticed the product she brought from Earth will damage Isekai's environment, but she knowingly chooses to ignore it. (Because on earth, she would did the same. Those plastic, battery, tinfoil, gasoline bottles she all throws them away with the kitchen waste. Somehow her partner did do recycling & sorting out garbages. Why Mitsuha refuse to do so back then was unclear, even in the novel.)

One thing you need to know first is that Mitsuha isn't a hero nor a good person. She won't care if people get hurt because of her. All she cares about is that she (and only herself) feels good in the end. In the beginning, she helped Colette-chan not because she wanted to save lifes, is only because she didn't wanna feel bad later if the person who saved her got killed by wolves. So was it explained in the novel anyway.

The writer only makes sure Mitsuha opens her grocery store so that Mitsuha will somehow conveniently make her new connections with the nobles in this capital city. In this case, her shop was only opened so that she would start selling debutante party ideas and goods from Earth to the nobles in this kingdom. After this debutante party event, her store is basically only just for show. The store barely came up in the later stories, and Mitsuha won't be spending much time in the store either .

What you said about Mitsuha will/ could unintentionally start a WorldWar-Isekai... You ain't wrong.
Mitsuha will goes from selling goods from Earth's 100yen store -> To selling lots debutante parties to young noble's daughters-> To selling Wars & Massacre to Isekai kingdoms, by selling elite mercenaries & guns (+tanks) from Earth. The story of: How the Merchant of Death - Mitsuha is born!
(I got the feeling that the novel writer got carried away and was a little bit lost control later in the stories...😅
In Isekai starting Massacre using the name of God, it was a little bit too much.)

Anyhow, that is another story for later.
But now Mitsuha needs an operation base, in this case, is her new opened grocery store. Also, this time, she needed logical connection with the nobles in CapitalCity, in this case, the Debutante party. Without those nobles from Capital City, someone like Mitsuha, a store owner, normally wouldn't be making connections with the royal family.

After all... She can't keep doing those insurance scams to get into every noble's home by jumping in front of their horse carriages. Or, in her case, jumping behind the carriage after scaring those poor horses with firework... The noble ain't all stupid. (Let's just say the Bronze family getting fool so easily was a special case...🤣) Normally, nobles have a lot of social parties. After all, they'll talk and tell each other things. If stuff like that happens more than once, it'll become way too suspicious. Especially when it comes to meeting someone like Mitsuha.

Mod Edit: Added spoiler tags; please hide plot details. Posts merged

WTF?! Mitsuha is REALLY shitty person 😨 AND I was speculating since I haven't even read the source material...

This was hilarious in many ways, just seeing Mitsuha buy and selling the goods from Japan is entertaining to watch.

Mitsuha opened a store, but it turned out to be some kind of tavern with a bathhouse. Yes, it was necessary to somehow better think over the assortment of the store, with the same success it was possible to sell, for example, a TV.
