Now, I probably can't go to Japan until the beginning of Fed or mid Feb. Work is just too much and I get to hold the broom, dustpan, and toilet paper until the mess is all cleaned up...

a place like that, probably in Ginza or Shinjuku, that's my wild guess...

i totally appreciate your comment...the thing is in japan they have such INCREDIBLE etiquette that they would serve you just as politely, most likely....in america...they'd give you the once over and mentally shit on you for not being classy enough for the joint.

man, when i went to japan and stayed at those ultra-luxurious hotels which i've mentioned countless times before (i apologize) i was treated with such IMPECCABLE service and refined GRACE i almost felt embarassed! and sometimes i'd be walking through the lobby wearing cargo shorts and a tech vest.....not dressed up or wearing incredibly expensive clothes to fit the part....gosh the service at most japanese establishments is beyond reproach...

in america you could stay at a fuggin' expensive hotel and if they thought you weren't a really big spender they might still treat you like shiet, so to speak.

i fully agree....that is one thing that i miss most, and i know they are suppose to treat customers like that, but it can be in a convenience store like Lawson, or a business hotel like SkyCourt Hotel, or a 4-star hotel like Shinagawa Prince Hotel, a nice restarant, or on a bus, taxi, anywhere, the service was pretty much the same, "Excellent!". People curious about japan and the service, They only have to experience it themselves.

in america, well, great service is a rare thing. In Japan, it's everywhere, practically. :bonk:

I thought it was more expensive. Their stuff is less than $20. Not bad. :thumbsup:

As for bad service, I had my share. :( I even wanted to go into a Ferrari shop once, but they wouldn't let me in, because I wasn't wearing a suit. Probably just a lame excuse, because they knew I didn't have enough money to buy a car. Unless I can have monthly payments of $500 for the next 75 years. :puppydog:
No Italian cars or suits for me... only italian food. :puppydog:

^^

watevas...


did i ever post a link about to the new Mandarin Hotel in tokyo? gosh those rooms are so awesome, it's like digusting..... :shakehead: :shakehead:

that's what i'm talking about it!!! i hate that fuggin SHIET!! one time my friend in college walked in to the emporio armani store in san francisco and they treated him like crap cuz he was wearing shorts but that kid is from the family that owns Formosa Plastics...one of the wealthiest petrochemical firms in ALL OF F*CKIN ASIA.

I hate that too. They just care about the looks. You don't have a $5000 watch, that must mean you're poor and an idiot. :banghead: :beatyou: They won't even look at you unless you're flashing a few thousands bucks. :shakehead:

Your friend could have bought the store and fire everybody. :mwahaha:

In my case they were right though. I don't look like a millionaire and I'm not one. :puppydog:

omg...you're like a cosmic relative or sum shiet...cuz that's exactly what we SAID!!!!!

f*ck being right...the point is they are just salesmen...if they were any ol' asshole on the street and they copped that attitude they would probably catch a beatdown!
