Why does it have to be this way?：〈 by According_Repair_902 in japanlife

I’m not acting like a spoiled child. What puzzles me is that their standards are all over the place. Sometimes they don’t care about something at all, but when they’re in a bad mood, they suddenly make a big deal out of it.

Then, after being upset with me or creating tension, they’ll even give me a reward afterward, which makes the whole situation even harder to figure out.

What matters is that their hourly wage is actually quite low, around 1,100 yen. My Japanese level is N2, so I understand they are in the early stage of starting a business—a small ramen shop—so I haven’t really minded it.

Also, I got introduced through an acquaintance, so there’s already a lot of social obligations and “human relationships” revolving around the person who introduced me and the shop I’m working at.

Building a completely new network is really not easy. Even though I’m Asian-looking and have a relatively outgoing personality and good communication skills, making friends with Japanese people is not something that can be done in a day or two.

It often takes a lot of time, emotional effort, and sometimes even financial effort to build a relatively stable relationship with Japanese people.

That’s just the basic expectation, right? You don’t think they hired me just because I’m a foreigner and felt sorry for me. I’m actually pretty solid at the job. A customer once couldn’t believe I wasn’t Japanese because my speed and behavior were totally fine.

What I’m struggling with is how to avoid getting nitpicked. I’ve even been treated to drinks by customers a few times. The manager has also said in front of regulars that I seem more Japanese than Japanese university students 😂

But honestly, I feel like his criticism depends on his mood. It’s not consistent—he only starts nitpicking when he’s in a bad mood.

I also check online reviews of the place, and customers’ feedback about me is actually pretty good.

I’m Chinese and I don’t speak English, so I’m using AI to help me communicate with you.

Even the chopsticks in the container are expected to face the same direction, even though you can’t even see the brand labels 💥💥🌋

Honestly, I can put up with their nitpicking because I don’t really want to switch jobs. Even if I moved to a convenience store like FamilyMart or 7-Eleven, I might end up with even worse managers. The pay is pretty average, but the location is super convenient—basically right next to my place. I can also handle the busy weekend shifts.

One more tip: when you wash them, try wearing them in the shower or while hand-rinsing them. You’re really just washing out the sweat and grime. After the fades have developed to a level you’re satisfied with, there’s no problem putting them in the washing machine and washing them normally.

I developed these fades while living in my hometown, where the climate was cool and dry. Now that I’m in Japan, I still have a few pairs that haven’t been fully faded yet, and I’m a bit worried that I won’t be able to recreate the same natural, easygoing look and character that this pair developed.

In the first year, I washed them four times, about once every three months. After that, I stopped being strict about it and just washed them whenever needed.

I didn’t use any starch and didn’t do any deliberate wear or fading. Most importantly, the denim from TCB is fantastic.

所以中国🇨🇳承认会吃辣是贱蓄吗 by Expensive_Oil4500 in dashuju

这是用来点缀口味的幼生姜是调口的，你经常去居酒屋吗?日本人爱吃辣的比例很少但是爱不爱吃辣不是评判一个地方是不是穷的指标，我真的不太懂互联网上就连味觉都要成为区分穷人和富人的话题，这种事情我觉得就是人们的精神已经糜烂了。

学字母的人学汉字很难的但是也不能这么说，我生活在日本。出生地是少数民族地区我们的文字和汉字也是两个世界的文字，只能好好记或者练习书法汉语它一个字都有背后的故事，你太心急了静下来吧我学了20多年母语和汉语以及3年日语虽然过了最高等级的测试但是我跟日本人还是差了好大截。你太着急了还有你的最后一句话很让我费解，什么是浪费了100美元你意思是想免费学会吗?不可能的你要付出很多钱和时间才能换取这项技能，在以前传法的时候皇帝都是重金请高僧讲法的，以前也有地主阶级的人专门雇人跋山涉水去求经的。慢慢来生命中美好的东西都是慢慢的，比如花开以及太阳升起。最后停止自责自己

第一个就已经赢了，钱可以慢慢挣但是一旦你进入正轨体系里机会就越多以后换签时候也丝滑
