Fresh sushi rolls past the eyes of the hungry guests on a conveyor belt. If you want to taste, you can strike. The sushi conveyor belt concept is especially popular in Japan. But young people use the principle for disgusting jokes. They drink soy sauce straight from the bottle or touch food and dishes with licked fingers.
The “sushi terror” sparked outrage in the country known for its high standards of cleanliness. Now a major restaurant chain is taking action against the disgusting jokes.
According to the Japanese news agency Kyodo News, Akindo Sushiro Co. a student for compensation. It is about 67 million yen, the equivalent of 433,000 francs. The burden of proof is overwhelming. Because: There is a video of the teenager on January 3 of this year licking a bottle and a cup. He also grabs a piece of sushi and then lets it continue on the belt.
Young apologizes for disgusting action
The recording went viral in late January and was clicked millions of times. With dire consequences for the restaurant chain. Apparently fewer customers came because they were disgusted and afraid to eat any of the slick sushi. In the end, even the company’s stock price collapsed.
The young man has now lost his smile. He apologized for the disgusting action. However, he doesn’t believe the company suffered such huge losses because of him and the video. In general, he is not a “sushi terrorist”, but just made the video for his friends. He never wanted to be part of this trend.
The police are now taking action against the sushi eaters. In March it was announced that three young people had been arrested in connection with the abhorrent pranks. If those arrested are convicted of disrupting operations, they face a prison sentence of up to three years. In the meantime, the restaurants upgraded the cameras that were already installed and equipped them with special surveillance software. (lia)
