@HanareJapan @Capito_Nihongo 変なことにド普通です。自分と恋人の名前だったり、戦争行く前に名前を残したりヨーロッパの物語にもよく出てくる習慣です。千社札みたいに自分が来た証拠を残すのが心理だろうけど、竹と桜の木はヨーロッパの木と違って凄く傷つきやすいから良くないですね…

@Capito_Nihongo 日本人の代わりに気持ちを代弁してくれてありがとう。
外国では、木に名前を掘るのは普通なの？
木を敬う気持ちがあれば、名前を掘るなんて、とてもできないけど。。。
日本語
In anderen Kulturen mag es vielleicht normal sein seinen Namen oder überhaupt irgendwas in Bäume zu schnitzen, aber in Japan macht man das nicht!
Bäume, so wie auch Bambus, sind heilig. Deswegen haben Bäume in Schreinen auch oft ein Shimenawa um sich gelegt. In ihnen wohnen Götter bzw. sind sie beseelt und wie alles beseelte sollte man sie respektvoll behandeln.
Leute, wie der Ausländer hier sorgen dafür, dass alle Ausländer ein schlechtes Image in Japan bekommen und Schreine sich eventuell dazu entscheiden keine Ausländer mehr reinzulassen, so wie ein Schrein auf der Insel Tsushima es schon getan hat.
Verhaltet euch einfach respektvoll in Schreinen und fast nichts an und kommt nicht auf die Idee euren Namen irgendwo reinzuschnitzen!!!

ローソンのセルフレジはマジでヤバいです。
まずバーコードリーダー持たなきゃいけない時点でゲンナリするのに、商品スキャン前にいきなり利用する電子マネー聞かれて終わったかと思ったらレジ袋スキャン始まる（ミスって商品スキャンするとエラーになる）人をイラつかせるためだけに生み出された機械

@Husky2139 @Noemiejirai @HakataQueen Could be 社宅 or something, or maybe they earned a lot more last fiscal year / big bonus?

I hate seeing those fake posts about tax / salary deductions cause the amounts are usually so weird.
When my salary was 280k I used to have roughly 40k deducted, there’s no way you’re getting 50k taken out of 170,000 yen every month !!!

@LinguistReborn Gay men absolutely benefit from patriarchy, how would we possibly not?
English
“Homophobia is rooted in misogyny” is supposed to illuminate how gay men are not beneficiaries of patriarchy since their manhood is invalidated by their sexual orientation.
It is NOT supposed to give straight women a pass to hetsplain homophobia to actual queer people.

Instead of simply taxing wealth, re-nationalising water, ending support for genocide, and a tiny bit more wealth redistribution — Keir Starmer has instead destroyed the Labour Party and ushered in fascism.

Starting to believe the theory that their understanding of this issue is stuck in the 90s because apparently they think we're paying for pirated copies like we're buying bootleg discs or something

どうして日本人は外国人が日本の漫画の海賊版を買うことを理解してくれないんだ。 手に入らないんだから仕方ないんだ。 って文句言ってる人のツイートが話題になってた。 なるほど。 手に入りにくければ偽物を買ってもいいと？ 作者に対する冒涜とも思わずに？ 私の職場にいる外国人職員さんも言ってたよ。 「日本はブランド品が高い。母国ならどこでも安く買える」って。 偽物でも「本物が買えないんだからいいじゃん」って考え。 賛同しかねるね。 「日本の漫画を海賊版で違法に読んでファンになりました」って、 それはなんだかなあ…

@simonsarris @powerbottomson Can almost guarantee this is them being told they have to tilt the buns back to show off the inside more (corporate rule) but also local compliance saying they can't shoot it head on like other countries because it's deceptive (compliance rule).
English
@powerbottomson they show that in the American website but they're not off to the side. If you look carefully, many of the buns are a half inch back on top though the photographer is careful to make it seem otherwise

@astaf_gorilla This machine supports basically any payment type you can imagine, including cash, but sure

East asians up to their shit again. Imagine thinking SEAsians are backward when many of our payment systems are more advanced, involving no touch credit card and phone payments instead of cash.

@mizunopjj429 @blue_empty_sky @sighyam I have no voting right here, just living here since school. But I agree with everything you say.

But let’s actually talk about the convenience store noodle system in Thailand vs Japan. Please no fighting.
In Thailand, if you want instant noodles, you pick one out, then go to the noodle station and pour hot water, and then pay. After that, you either sit down and eat or leave with your food.
Why is it convenient? In Thailand, the prep happens while you’re waiting anyway, so you’re overlapping tasks.
But in Japan, everything is sequential, so total time can be longer for the individual customer, even if the system itself is more controlled?
Thailand: pick > prepare > queue > pay > eat
Japan: pick > queue > pay > prepare > wait > eat
Both societies already operate on high interpersonal trust, so I’m confused why Japanese consumers follow corporate rules that don’t make sense? 7-11 rules don’t count as “culture or tradition” so that reasoning can’t be used lol
You also can’t blame foreigners, this system has been in place in Thailand for years, and Thailand is also a tourist hub yet everything works fine and saves consumers 1-3 minutes in waiting time per meal.

@kendewitt @sighyam They put a lid on that for a reason, but it grosses me out it's in the open, so I do avoid it 😄

@bobabobbafett @sighyam Agreed, was just replying to the phrasing of 1 part of the OP. The people getting pissed at the dude obviously just trying to pay for his food are insane. It's a cute cultural difference mistake.
English
@tindenli @sighyam This conflict has almost nothing to do with the man’s action. Almost all Thai people have no problem respecting rules in Japan & agree with the cashier to inform him. The conflict is due to racist Japanese netizens who use this opportunity to hurl insults at all Thai people.
English
@blue_empty_sky @sighyam I was taking issue with the OP saying Japanese are blindly following corporate rules, like the Thai way is obviously correct. It's just a cultural difference.
100% agree the replies to it are insane. Japanese people are really touchy and easy to snap at foreigners lately.
English
@tindenli @sighyam You're extending the issue beyond what it really is.
We are not saying it's okay to break the rule, we're saying the mistake is very minor, there is no malicious intent, and appropriate reprimands were already made.
The discriminating comments, however, don't want to end at that.
English
@sighyam @BryanKilvinski 7-11s outside of tokyo often do have microwave sections. You still have to pay before you do it.
English
@BryanKilvinski Personally no. But if 7-11 added a microwave section then yes I’d heat my own ready meal up too before paying because when the shop is busy it takes staff several minutes to get to you.

A foreign tourist visits Japan, spends all his time in tourist trap neighborhoods, notices other foreign tourists, goes home to his western country and logs into Twitter.
