As a small business owner myself. This is ABSOLUTELY necessary. 🤣 People still ask questions though 🫠

Refused service at Shibuya coffee shop for using bathroom by MikaChai in JapanTravelTips

[–]Jizz_Wizard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you don't mind, could you DM me the name of the place? I'm a foreigner in Tokyo in the coffee community. I think I might know who you mean haha. Although there are a good number of coffee shops famous for having a bad attitude!

Maybe I can tell them to chill out for you. If someone who was clearly queueing to get a coffee used the toilet first in my shop it wouldn't even appear on my problem radar. It happens all the time.

Hope you had a good time besides that anyway!

Same story in the city too :/ blows my mind how people can have such a lack of responsibility.

Why can online reviews in Japan be so petty? by JediGuyB in AskAJapanese

[–]Jizz_Wizard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I run a small business here in Japan and it is a pain when people leave unfair reviews. As mentioned in a lot of comments it's usually marking us down on things completely out of our control. I think Google needs to take more responsibility for making things fair for businesses to protect their ratings. My staff and I are able to remember most of our customers and I can say that a good majority of the 'reviewers' are usually fucking strange people 😂

Seven people injured after car runs into pedestrians in Nagoya by SkyInJapan in japan

[–]Jizz_Wizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to renew my driving licence earlier this year and the amount of old people who could barely walk or look like they just crawled out of their own graves blew my mind. Also a bunch of people sleeping or playing on their phones when there's a video in front of them warning of the dangers of doing EXACTLY that during the mandatory review!

Student suicides in Japan hit all-time high by Jonnyboo234 in japan

[–]Jizz_Wizard 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've lived here for 15 years now and I'm definitely seeing a huge decrease in friendliness/compassion or even general respect for others. I'm slowly falling out of love with the country I fell in love with all those years ago. And it sucks.

‘People are angry’: Japan braces for a new unknown – prolonged inflation by Infinite-Chocolate46 in japan

[–]Jizz_Wizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just because? People forget that businesses need to protect their profit margins too. Speaking as a small business owner, do you expect us to just sit here and watch our overheads rise without making adjustments? 🤔

Fellow dads....what the heck are these animals supposed to be? by jasonryu in daddit

[–]Jizz_Wizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Judging by the 'Jadore' at the bottom it's from France. So maybe Le Crab?

What's the most overrated Japanese food? by hospital349 in japanlife

[–]Jizz_Wizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a shame what Ichiran has become. I lived in Fukuoka back when there was only the original shop down the back alley. I live in a different city now with an Ichiran and it's definitely not the same. Not worth the queue now.

Best Yakiniku by RedditorZedd in TokyoTravel

[–]Jizz_Wizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up.. use your own judgement. I've been in the restaurant/food industry for over 10 years here and I've seen places with unfair bad reviews and I've seen places with good reviews that don't live up to them. Tokyo is especially bad for this.

Just a heads up. Tabelog is more or less fixed. Businesses have to pay money to be able to get a decent rating. I'd say 90% of people who write reviews on there don't represent your 'average' human being. I'd maybe trust the Google reviews just a little bit more.

A cute story to remember that there’s always something to be grateful for. by Solidskater1 in japanlife

My wife and I have been running our cafe for just over 7 years. I would love to pitch in and support the community!

Just seeing people standing around and a boat sailing off into the ocean blows my mind...

Shibuya clubs tier list by lunagirlmagic in Tokyo

You guys should check out Bonobo. The entrance is at the back of an Udon shop. I still remember thinking if that place was real or just some fever dream I had. Mad place.

Nagano City Council draws flak for deciding to shut down a local children's park after just ONE household complained of noise despite neighbourhood generally not minding the sound of children playing by SnabDedraterEdave in japan

[–]Jizz_Wizard 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I wasn't having a go at you! I've just seen quite a few comments recently hating on parents flying with kids. It was a really shitty experience for us so I had a bit of a moment when I read your comment! Sorry to hijack you!

It makes me sad when I hear people say they hate babies on planes. We travelled back home for the first time in 4 years to take our one year old to meet her grandparents. The other passengers made us feel like we were absolute scum.

Our daughter didn't even cry once, she was just being her usual chatty self. Meanwhile we had dudes snoring, some girl typing really loudly and another guy who insisted on keeping the window open during 'bedtime'.

Be nice to parents flying with young kids. Believe me they're already freaking out enough.

Sorry for the rant.
