i may be crazy


i may be wrong but you may be right


I just really feel as Billy Joel sings




Am I strange since I care too much about what shop staff does?


Like I really do not like their rude behaviours and unkind instrustions.


perhaps, if i have thicker nerves, i would not be as irritated as I am now.


if i could insist what i need or what i asked, i won't get frustrated because i cannot get what i want



but it is kind of different things


i mean, i think there are lots of staff who lack common sense in this city...


like


they change their respoonse according to the customers

they do not clearly tell me where to sit even though they do not say that i can choose a seat.

they mistake my order and bring me the pasta that i do not want

they do not genuinely apologise to me for making mistakes

they do not serve pasta with a folk

they do not keep it in their mind that they made lots of mistakes

oh it is all about CONA, the pizza house in aoyama


and at another cafe

the staff does not remember that i said i was going to take the food away

thus, he prepared a tray to put food on

and i told him that i was going to take that away

then he got so hasty and told the others that the order is to go

and as a result, he forgot that he still did not pass me the change

An older staff asked like "Is bill ok?" and he goes "yes."

and he was about to pass me the receipt only. so i said i still haven't gotten the change and he apologised... that guy was a bit better than the pizza guy since he looked sorry.


i guess everyone experiences this kind of things, but they do not complain about it one by one.

I do not understand why people can stand not saying these things

i feel everyone is so tolerant

and matured


i cannot stand


and these days, very few people provides us kind and polite service.

Why is the style of service changing for the worse?


yesterday we were talking about the service style in other countries.

we feel it is pleasant that they speak to us very friendly


the difference is if they work properly or not.


Foreign people work properly and also talk to us friendly.

Japanese people do not work roughly but talk rudely

What?

it is no hospitality


Needless to say, not all the people behave like this.

For instance, the staff of a curry shop named 天馬 in Aoyama are brilliant.

They work quickly, talk very politely, and serve us carefully.

All the staff was excellent.

I think most shops should learn sth from them.


Friednliness is not equal to familiarity.


遠藤周作 also says so!



and i want to say this to my... my friends in the second year of this uni


i have never told you that i allow you to talk like a friend


ok it is true that i may not be superior to you but it is japanese tradition to respect me as sempai


well

no, it's unrelated to what i wanna say



anyway



i do not like recent Japanese shop assistants' behviour
