I really like Life and go there a 3 times a week or so - there is literally one on my way home (as in no detour). Some of them have a bit of a different system though - one I know of has a separate bakery (complete with separate place to pay), and some have self-checkouts. The one on my way home doesn't have a bakery at all, which is a bit annoying.
In Kansai there is also Kohyo which is a rather small Aeon - my local shotengai has one.
FWIW Tamade doesn't accept credit cards.
