Yay! It becomes more funny the more you know about it all. Yelling “Welcome”, “Irasshaimase” in Japanese, is very important. I don’t really get why, but Japanese people put a lot of emphasis on it or think that other Japanese people think it’s important. To me it feels as if they think they are bullshitting everybody by either doing it or by being upset by the lack of it.
The perceived importance of it gets to the point that when Japanese businesses fail, the higher-ups often enough blame it on the ordinary employees and their lack of enthusiasm when yelling “Irasshaimase!”. The thinking really has an anime vibe to it, as if you can fix flawed business structures by just trying harder/yelling louder.
i do mean it. i mean most things i say that are nice. good job. keep it up
