The store manager demands “acting ability”
While saying, “This is really interesting. I just laughed,” Mr. Gunmichi introduced in the latter half of the program a post from a user who seems to be a convenience store clerk.
“Since the shopping bag has been charged, there are quite a few complaints from customers who get burned trying to bring the lentinized gratin with their bare hands.”
In addition, the post goes on:
“The aunt’s store manager instructed me to hand over the product while being cheerful so that the heat can be easily transmitted to the customer.”
In a post that said, “Is there only a stupid person in this world?”, Mr. Gunmichi said, “Pay about 3 yen (for the plastic shopping bag)!” Convenience store clerk is a world where acting ability is required, isn’t it? “
This exchange was also spread on Twitter.
