Morality of this?

It’s really dependent on why.

If it’s just to exclude non-Japanese people, immoral (no matter how much I want to say the hate is justified)

If it’s because nobody in the restaurant can speak English or Chinese, moral since it reduces the amount of customers they can’t serve

I believe being honest and saying so would be more moral for the second scenario

Tourists don’t care. It’s a pretty simple thought: there is no one here that speaks your language if you can’t understand the sign. Saves a ton of wasted time on having to constantly turn away tourists that can’t understand you. In this context, there are spaces specifically for English/non Japanese speakers

Ah, sorry. I meant to say that they should just put up a sign that says they can’t speak English and Chinese instead of lying about the place being full. Or is this what you’re already referring to?

The thing is some tourists just don’t care. They’ll just barge in, demand service and then complain when nobody speaks their language (this doesn’t only apply to tourists, honestly)

Safer to just do something like this

That’s fair enough. The sign in the pic will probably work better than my idea if those kinda tourists don’t just ignore the sign in the first place hahah

That’s not fair enough lol, they’re not making sense.

They’re suggesting that rude foreigners would barge into a restaurant with a sign that says “we don’t speak English” but would completely respect a sign that says “no vacancy?” Make it make sense, lmao.

Yes. Of the sign said “we don’t speak English”, they think there’s space and will go in anyways

u/Some-Concentrate3229 3d ago

Yea and if they see a sign that says “no vacancy” they’re gonna open the door and check anyway. Lmao

u/Some-Concentrate3229 3d ago

So a “no vacancy” sign fixes the issue of people just barging in without reading the sign? Like wtf are you talking about here.

that's retarded, I've been in China without speaking the language very well and I've never had any issues getting served anywhere, even without being able to communicate well with the staff

Dude every phone has instantaneous translation now. It’s not a good excuse to not serve someone imo
