In Japan Customer Is Always Right, Says Ishii
Kenneth Ishii reports on Japan’s extreme politeness culture in major stores. Mitsukoshi trains staff to offer seats to carriers of wrapped packages and apologize for staff mistakes. Rules limit staff from blocking customers views and to avoid overtaking shoppers. Stores demand customers be allowed to roam freely and be treated with constant courtesy regardless of purchases. Starting wages for new hires range from about $22 to $30 monthly.
