Some Japanese businesses, including retailers and restaurants, saw their services disrupted by system glitches following the consumption tax hike to 10 pct from 8 pct Tuesday.
   Among them was convenience store operator Ministop Co. , which overcharged some customers by several yen due to flaws in cash registers updated to reflect the tax increase.
   Also on the day, Japan shifted to a two-tier rate system that applies 8 pct to a handful of items, mainly food and beverages, and 10 pct for all remaining items.
   The complex system is a headache for many retailers and restaurants. The tax rate stands at 8 pct for takeout food and 10 pct for food consumed at stores.
   According to Ministop, some outlets sold products subject to the 10 pct tax at the rate of 8 pct while other stores misprinted receipts.
