Some Ramen Place in Shinuku

Picture 040126_0028~01.jpg “Attention Customers:
In order to prevent skipping out on a restaurant bill.
We strictly prohibit leaving before paying the bill.
Manager”

See. Now I’m not convinced that this sign would be considered much of a walk-out deterrent in a US restaurant.

The beauty of Japan is that telling people it’s forbidden to shoplift or a very naughty thing to kill people and steal their money, is still considered the ultimate argument to freeze halt any dishonest plan in the making.

Makes sense. Makes lots of sense…This morning when I came to work I had this “book title” waiting at my desk: “You live polish up yourself.”

By the way, I like that “send me replies to my comment via email” feature you’re using here.
