Good job Hokkaido

100% was drunk, felt uppity after being called out, fucked around and found out very shortly after.
All over 3 yen. What an absolute muppet.
What a wanker. Jail, deport and ban for life.
“Then he ran into my knife. He ran into my knife ten times!”
Brits don’t like paying for bags, I remember this from working in retail when the bag charges were introduced. The hissy fits and conspiracy theories were endless.
British lager louts taking a break from Majorca.
Meanwhile as an American I’m deciding which reusable bag to take with me on my trip lol.
The British term for this man is “stupid cunt”
what a twat
Deport.
They’re not sending their best
Well well well
> British
surprise…
¥3 WTF?
The implication that he was trying to steal a 3 yen bag is as stupid as the idea that staff would try to scam someone for 3 yen.
Who writes this crap.
The 3 yen charge is poorly highlighted (it’s only a note next to the bags in Japanese where I shop).
And unless something has changed nothing on the interface asks how many bags you want or that you need to pay for them.
You literally just have to know then scan the plastic barcodes sitting on the bench next to the self checkout.
This will almost certainly be the case here.
It has been 10p for a bag in the UK for years. This guy is just a cock.
Every little helps
I’m British so I’ve no qualms about suggesting he’s banned from reentry and/or sent to a Japanese prison for a bit. Absolute wankstain.
Wonder will Japanese people make signs for “these” type of tourist ⬜️🧔🏻 smh
Brits graciously taking the title of worst tourists from americans 🙏
You sure it was British? Reddit says it’s always American.
OK so I actually read it. It’s not about 3 yen most likely. He was doing a self checkout, and he grabbed one of those bags hanging there thinking they are complimentary. I doubt he speaks Japanese and the clerk was a bit of an older gentleman, who might not speak English very well.
The clerk then confronts him and I think the tourist thinks he’s being accused of theft, of the items, not just the bag. And maybe intoxicated too.
He’s a total jackass don’t get me wrong. But the ‘over a 3 yen bag’ is so clickbaity lol.
Always found it funny in Japan when the clerks are like “You want a bag? It’s FIVE YEN ARE YOU SURE????”
