Japanese workers working #1

With Japanese pharmacists selling a whole host of stuff, much of which is many miles from medicinal, it’s sort of comforting to think that, decked out in their lovely lab coats, the staff at least look like they know what they are doing.

The only problem — and the picture above partly proves it — is that from my experience at least, many of them may well have the countenance, but certainly not the cleanliness, of a chemist.

    …and the guy appears to be bending over backwards. Nice posture.

    I’ve seen so many guys here working in the service industry use the toilet and just walk right out of the restroom without washing their hands. I actually had to stop visiting my favorite coffee shop next to where I worked because I saw one of its workers walk out of a toilet box (sure smelled like he’d just pinched one off), play with the spikes in his hair for about 10 seconds in front of the mirror, and walk out of the restroom.

    They are doing some inventory countdown, I guess.
