A gaijin customer was yelling loud to a young Japanese female clerk like "No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!". I took a backward glance and saw a strange gaijin man looking really frustrated about something were blaming the clerk just because he wanted to put his whole thing into a bag. He didn't like the clerk trying to put his stuff to an used carton. The staff there are nice and that place is a wholesale store and not a retail store so an used carton is good enough for stuffing. I think he shouldn't have been so selfish and shouldn't have yelled her with such a little thing. The female clerk looked slightly embarrassed and I felt sorry about her. The gaijin man seemed he is looking down on whole young Japanese women as gaijin-loving freaks or something and having some attitude against Japanese women. Anyway it was a little offensive incident for me today. PS: A Sepponian-size hot dog with a free-refill beverage sold at there for just 250 yen is really a good deal. A Sepponian-size pizza for 280 yen as well.
