Slightly better tasting coffee and pictures of a boy band on the side of their planes. JAL's marketing team has single handedly risen the company from the ashes. Look out ANA!

I tend to view a massive earthquake as the best early warning system for tsunami's, not ionosphere anomalies detected AFTER the tsunami has been unleashed.

I remember a time when I was checking in at the airport and my luggage was 2kg over. The attendant was being a super b*tch and wouldnt let me take anything out or pay extra to check it...until I saw her fat leg resting on the scale. oh wait...that was in Canada. Or this time at a restaurant where my food took hours and the waitress was no where to be seen but still demanded a tip...oh wait, that was everywhere I've been in the western world Or the time I didnt look like I was gonna give a tip, the bar maid literally threw my change back at me. I took back the tip I already placed on the bar and left. but, wait that was in Montreal.
How about basing an article about customer service while using examples of Japanese restaurants. McDonalds/Starbucks may be in Japan but they are using the playbook from the U.S. Either way...bad experiences can be found anywhere in the world. What I love, is the lack of tipping. Not because I'm cheap, but because if yell "Sumimasen" in any restaurant in Japan and you get the entire staff scrambling over to your table. With a "TIP" based system all you get are selfish service staff who only attend to "thier" tables (even though they share the pot). Your waiter(ess) is busy or in the crapper and your sh*t outta luck until they come back.
