i think thats a funny story.

unfortunately its tempered by the knowledge that japanese speak very ill of foreigners behind their backs as a regular practice. this might not be so bad, except for the fact that they (the j.'s) dissemble to the foreignes face AS IF they were oh-so-polite. yes folks its mostly just "tatamae". japanese really are that xenophobic, and theres no getting around that simple fact, no matter how funny this story is.

Thanks for the comment but what you're saying isn't true. There are of course rude people in Japan, like anywhere else (drunk old men of course being the worst offenders), but the politeness is mostly genuine. Some Japanese travelling might look at foreigners as objects of wonder, but rudeness is very seldom tolerated, even about foreigners, among fellow Japanese. The general culture is in Japan that people have to keep any such feelings to themselves.

Peace

lol! thats pretty epic there. i'd have loved to see the look on the face of the guy who tipped you XD out of curiosity, do you know whats become of those old coworkers? have you been in contact with any of them since?

[Hikosaemon]

I wish I knew more - many of the Japanese settled in New Zealand, and the only kiwi shift leader is now shop manager and was best man at my wedding. I have had a few Kiwi coworkers come through Tokyo, and met a couple of former Japanese coworkers, but it is going on 14 years ago now! Still, it's what started my whole life today, so I still have lots of good memories from that shop.

Peace
