Based response, would borrow in case I encounter someone like that

"I havnt seen that friend, since." Surely she always remember you. Its hard to meet one person who will stood up for you.

Holy shit I absolutely love her. Standing up for someone else without hesitating once the line was crossed, and diffusing the situation entirely by kicking the customer out without folding to him or returning the verbal assault was incredible. To express just enough of your anger to convey you won't be tolerating their bullshit while basically telling them to "fuck off" in a professional way like that is a skill that shows a lot of maturity. Man, Raden is seriously such an awesome person.

Why?

Good clip. Raden seems like the sort of person to stick up for others. She's so fun

It takes a lot for any Japanese to stand up to a customer like that. Their policies of "The customer is king, the customer is always right" is nice, but only up to a certain extent... Unfortunately it can make workers lives absolute hell. Raden did what I think was right. She left things alone to be reconciled if possible, but once the guy started personally verbally abusing and crossed the line she jumped in. Maximum respect for that. Also, dropping the glass a bit later, while not so kakkoi was probably due to the adrenaline and nerves of it all 😅

true. I think in Raden case, " Japanese customer always right ", indeed their culture.. so when Raden start talking back at them, her action might also struck their mentality since something like this never/barely happened in their culture, thus the man just went away. the same also happened to Kronii case when she backing up her manager when she being treated unjust / poorly ( based on Kronii PoV ). Japan's Seniority always seen as the righteous. however this culture also spread into different aspect of life. thus, barely any teen stand up to the older man even if the older man is at mistake, the company always right, the senior staff always more experienced, and so on. in Kronii case, Hololive or Cover company seems more adapted to changes. the fact that they can file a complaint like Kronii did, is much better than their Rival Company. at least that's my PoV.

@ranapriliaful indeed, the senior respect is in every aspect of japanese society. Even family life. While most people can also be humble, it rarely applies when someone younger tries to correct someone senior. It doesn't help that Japan has been given (and adopted) half truths from the west. For example: "The customer is always right - in terms of taste" but that last part is always left out 😏

Restaurants frequently work under *much* tighter profit margins than laboratories. Not really a remotely fair comparison.

I'd be surprised if that friend ever forgot that moment. Also, now she can laugh about it, but if Raden kept quiet back then, she probably would still feel some guilt for doing nothing, I'm glad she went with her sense of right and wrong first and foremost.

Getting in a heated argument can bring out the adrenaline. Raden breaking glass could have been caused by the aftermath, which might have involved shaking hands.

This story shows how Raden is the perfect girlboss/girlfailure combination, the ultimate gap moe 🙌 Kick a bastard out of the restaurant with her words alone ("you don't even have to pay for the coffee" is such a line, esp in Japan 😆) , then makes a PON move right after to balance it out 😄

It's wild to me how different places can be, someone being abusive and racist to staff? They'd boot the customer, not the employee, losing staff is generally harder on the business than losing one racist customer.

This is totally the sort of response that I wouldn't be surprised to see here in the US but I'm sure it's quite a unique experience in Japan. It's normally the policy here that the customer is always right UNTIL they cross the lines of civility and then they've gotta go. Raden also mentioned that this was some sort of chain restaurant so I would imagine that this made things even worse for her as I'm sure they need to be extra mindful of having bad interactions with customers because it doesn't just reflect on the one restaurant but the entire brand.

I mean, the customer did cross the line of civility, but it wouldn't impress any of the chain's management.

Just when Raden can't get any cooler.

that "OI" was very crisp

I know this clip will be very well received in the west. Her reaction is exactly how we in the west would react, especially Americans. We all know she did the right thing, even if it upends the expected social hierarchy. We're more concerned about doing right than following the right procedure. The fact that she did it even though it violates social expectations just makes us respect her more. I think from Raden's and the Japanese point of view, her reaction can be considered immature and hotheaded. I believe the correct course of action, from a Japanese PoV, is to go get the manager and have them diffuse the situation. I doubt Raden had the authority to not collect payment and kick someone out. The manager does have that authority and it's also their responsibility to protect staff. Personally, I think it was good that "older gentleman" received that reaction from Raden. There are some things one just shouldn't say. He probably got away with saying it so many times before. He probably got really flustered and didn't know how to react, so he left as suggested. I hope he reflected on his words and actions. Also, I don't think he would have hit Raden. Even if he only got a slap on the wrist legally, he would have died a social death. Imagine carrying the reputation of "man who hits girls when angry". There is no way he doesn't get ostracized from society. Now, obviously, people who are extremely angry don't really think about consequences, so it's good that the man thought better of it and left. Anyways, long story short, Raden is based.

It takes a lot of courage to do that in most situations, I can't imagine how much harder it would be in a customer service job in japan, of all places Good on her

Man Raden is a real one for defending her friend and chewing that guy out and telling him to get lost. Absolutely the type of person you want to have your back.

It just goes to show that racism is not isolated to one specific race or aimed solely at one specific race either. Racism exists everywhere around the world unfortunately. What's surprising about Raden's story is that it took place in a Japanese restaurant where she was helping out. Typically the Japanese don't speak up when others do something that's embarrassing or offensive. The fact that Raden went against the say nothing attitude of the Japanese culture says a lot about her character as a person. Raden has nothing to regret about standing up for her exchange student friend at the time. It was totally the right thing to do even if it went against both Japanese cultural norms and the restaurant's policy of the customer always being right. In both cases in this situation this specific customer was dead wrong being racist.

It's actually slightly different from what westerners think of as "racism". Plainly put, it's xenophobia. Racism is hating or fearing someone for being a certain race. Xenophobia is hating or fearing someone for NOT being a certain race. They're very similar and there's nothing that says you can't be both (a lot of Americans are both) but the Japanese brand tends toward the latter. They don't care what race you actually are, they care that youre not from Japan. Japanese people from abroad or that spend a lot of time abroad are subject to it. Coco has said she gets it from people despite being ethnically Japanese. But that doesn't matter. She didn't grow up in Japan, so she's foreign.

She shouldn't have gotten in trouble and makes me sad that she said it was a young folish thing to do. Clients should be respectful towards staff, if they are not, staff should not have the obligation to deal with them, they can go be rude anywhere else. The "do not disturb the peace" is very japanese and the "client is always right" very united states typical and they are both bad philosofies regarding these issues in my opinion. Respect should be mutual and if you are not respectfull you do not deserve to have access to any service.

HUGE RESPECT!!!! As an immigrant that's studying in another country (not Japan, in my case it's Spain), this felt personal. I know how hard it is in Japan to stand up to costumers, and i'm glad she did

I wouldn't have done that myself especially the younger me so it's amazing knowing about a Japanese person arguing with a customer.

No store needs a customer like that, so she technically wasn't arguing with a customer. And if he did happen to hit her, he could be arrested for assault and battery. I hope that is how things work in Japan.
