Day in the Life of a Japanese Waitress

Жыл бұрын

A day in the life of a Japanese waitress in Tokyo working at a Japanese teppanyaki restaurant. This is a typical work day for a waitress in the Japanese food industry and the typical working hours in Japan. This is a look inside of Japanese work culture in Japanese restaurants. Working in Japan is quite unique and depending on the industry may be a bit different from job to job, but many of the jobs also share similar characteristics. The video follows Yuki in her typical japan work day from morning until the evening and everything that happens in between at work. She arrives at the teppanyaki restaurant when it opens and leaves when it closes, very typical for Japanese restaurants. Yuki is a waitress at Pandora, a Teppanyaki restaurant, Japanese style flat grill, which has been a local favorite since 1972 serving Kobe beef steaks and teppanyaki course meals. During her time working as a full-time waitress, she learned the importance of reading and anticipating the customers needs and acting beforehand. It’s a strong part of a Japanese omotenashi culture, a deep and honest form of hospitality, treating customers with respect without asking for anything in return. So for her, even a smile from her customers brings her true joy. One of the main reasons why in Japan tips at the end of the meal are very uncustomary. This among other things shared in this video is what makes working in Japan as a waitress very unique experience.

The Hells Angels, the Comanchero motorcycle club and the Aussie Cartel heads are having talks while you are reading this about their growth in Australia and in Asia. Exterminating The Yakusa presence and their activities in the country would be considerably profitable for the Hells Angels, the Comanchero motorcycle club and the Aussie Cartel. The goal is to initiate their expansion over the Yakusa in Australia and to push it as far as in Japan. According to their plans, they are and will be supported by the Sinaloa Cartel for a part of the gains obtained and it would be done by the end of 2023. They told their mens to prioritize the capture, mostly for torture and interrogation before killing and for selling but to kill right away if they can not capture. This is what members having close ties with Hells Angels chapter leaders are talking about. Some members of the Hells Angels and of the Sinaloa Cartel had already start moving to Australia. The mens had been told to get the job done by any means, even by mass killing if needed. If you are directly involved let your comrades know so you can be prepared for what is happening before it is too late to prevent the bloodbath and your fall !

One of the Greatest things about Japanese education is the cleanliness they're taught and the respect for someone else's efforts, like cultivating vegetables and dairy so you don't have to do it. I actually love this about any culture and our country really needs to get on the same boat. It's hard process for overly privileged kids but its possible and we can start with the parents, by making them more assertive and less afraid of their childrens backlashing

@@Mwoods2272 It is very much standard that people work 4 hours in some days and 12hours in other days. 99% chances are she is working 40hours of irregular shifts rather than doing 2 hours of overtime everytime.

I think hers is one of the few that's more tiring out of all that has been featured so far. Ridiculously long hours and lots of miscellaneous tasks aside from the customer service itself which is no joke on its own. And like only less than a couple hours to enjoy herself at home before getting 6hrs of sleep. No wonder she kinda had a hard time waking fully at the start of the video. Great respect to her and to all the waiters/waitresses out there.

Everyday life is not about saving children and cats from burning buildings. The chef in the video cleans his drain - such a small gesture - but it reflects his attitude toward cleanliness, his cooking, how his patrons will enjoy his food because he cares about the small details. The little things in life matter.
