As a white euro dude in JP I'm all about Mom'n'Pop's shops, 昭和喫茶, crappy 食堂 and all that shit...
EXCEPT FOR BIKE REPAIR SHOPS !!
- Needing air. The guy complies with the foulest of mood
- Other shop for skewed wheel. "That's OK you can ride with that"
- Need new brake pads. "Sorry we can't we are 休ま" (lady I'm in your shop talking to you ??) "Go to the other shop over there"
- Shop over there (after 5mn YELLING すみません!) "Don't have those ones"
I WANT TO GIVE YOU MONEY WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU ?
