a fu*k japan moment
So I went to the electronics store to buy an air conditioner. Wallet stuffed with money, I walked over to the air con section, picked up a couple of brochures, and started browsing. Then I noticed that the sales people had drifted over to the other side of the department. ooook... A few minutes later - seriously, I was standing there by myself looking up and down at the various units for about 5 minutes - a (Japanese) couple stepped into the department and instantly there was a sales dude at their side, going "いらっしゃいませ!" ooook... Then some barely-out-of-high-school looking kid walked up right next to me and again another sales droid appeared at his side, going "いらっしゃいませ!" wtf am I, chopped liver?! ARRRGH!!
So I left the store. I basically now just want to use up my points on this card and never shop there again. Jerks. I have 30,000 points on it now, and another 30,000 coming in later this month for signing up for internet. I figure I'll make a show of it too. I'll use up the exact number of points (or come as close as possible to doing so), ask to see the manager and cut my card in half right in front of them, saying: "I hate this store, no one helps me because I'm a foreigner."
