Four incidents just happened for two week.
Employees are criticized for stupid behavior.
First incident occurred in “Sukiya”. Sukiya is a chain fast-food restaurant of beef bowl(a bowl of rice topped with cooked beef and onions).
An employee touched a ladle on his groin. And he threw ice with other employees.
The video which was took of that situation has been spread on Twitter. So they have been criticized.
Sukiya explained it was during business hours but there were no guests in the restaurant.
A incident occurred in “Big Echo”. Big Echo is Karaoke(singing bar). You are able to sing, have light meals and drink drinks there.
An employee rubbed chicken on the floor. And he or she made Karaage(Japanese fried-chicken) with that chicken.
The video which was took of that situation has been spread on Twitter. So he or she has been criticized.
Big echo explained that they called the police. It is because if they leave the problem, food poisoning might occur.
A incident occurred in “Kura Sushi”. Kura Sushi is restaurant of conveyor-belt sushi(Kaiten-Sushi). Kaiten-Sushi is a type of Sushi restaurant that serves dishes on a revolving counter. As the food revolves around, you pick the dishes you want.
A employee threw fish in trash box, picked up the fish from the trash box, and put the fish on the cutting board.
The video which was took of that situation has been spread on Twitter. So he has been criticized.
Kura Sushi explained that the fish was not offered to customers.
And the employees(a person who acted foolishly / a person took the video) were fired.
A incident occurred in “Domino pizza”.
A employee was cooking while eating.
The video which was took of that situation has been spread on Twitter. So she has been criticized.
Some people say it is conspiracy. These incidents affects the stock prices. So a secret agent was sent to a rival in business. As secret agent makes to a foolish behavior and spread the video, the rival company will be in a serious situation. To that evidence, the video of Kura Sushi did not taken recently. Employees had already fired and it has been talking about reparations between former employees and Kura Sushi. But someone spread the video on Twitter.
Considering why these problems occur only with fast-food restaurants and karaoke, I think conspiracy theory is too much thought.
I think that they have perpetrated atrocities only through excess of youthful ardor.
Recently, in Japan a person who tweet nonsense(to make others uncomfortable) or takes such a foolish behavior and spread the video on twitter is called “Bakatter”(=Baka(fool)+Twitter).
And a part time job worker who takes such a foolish behavior while at work is called “baito tero”(baito or Arbeit means part time job in English, tero is short for terrorism). Since most of those who take such actions are young students who are balancing school work and work, and it has a tremendous impact on enterprises, they came to be called like this.
As it cannot be undone once it spreads on the net, I want you to consider it well.
