Taiwan convenience stores are similar, minus the xenophobia.
- fomine3 5y agoI believe there are very few xenophobia in Japanese convenience stores because many workers are foreigner and it's general service in nationwide. Some restaurants could be operated by xenophobian.
- spike021 5y agoI've never experienced xenophobia in a Japanese convenience store (I'm an obvious white foreigner).
- another_story 5y agoThe original poster said they had. Not everyone will experience it, but it does exist. There are restaurants that won't allow non-Japanese in.
- thematrixturtle 5y agoOP was complaining about restaurants, not convenience stores. I'm also pretty surprised to hear that they were "kicked out" of a restaurant. Being refused entry is an actual if pretty rare thing, but there's something more than a language barrier going on if they're told to GTFO halfway through a meal.
- marcan_42 5y agoI've lived for 8 years in Japan and haven't had a single incident of xenophobia at a konbini. Though I will say I got a chuckle out of the ojisan who threw a perfect Microwaveでwarmしますか？ at me once :-)
