I think it qualifies as random.

While waiting for my wife who had ducked into a 7-11 on our walk this evening here in Japan, I noticed that the storefront advertised that it had an AED, an automated external defibrillator.

If you don't know, this is a device that can restart a heart that has stopped.
They are dead simple to use. I learned how to use one as part of a trauma first aid course I took last year at my gun club in Oregon, but they come with easy to understand diagrams, and even recorded voice instructions in some of these.
I doubt if all 7-11s in Japan have these, but it is an outstanding idea. I wonder if 7-11s, or Starbucks, or McDonalds, etc., in the US have considered providing these as a public service?
Not being "cardiacally challenged" I didn't recognize that and wondered why you posted what initially appeared to be a stack of toilet seats on edge.

To put it simply, an AED will not restart a heart once it has completely stopped because that's not what it's designed to do. As discussed above, the purpose of a defib is to detect irregular heart rhythms and shock them back to normal rhythms, not to shock a heart back to life once it has flatlined.
