I think there are many people who started work today after the year-end and New Year holidays, which had been a maximum of nine consecutive holidays. I tend to be vague when the holidays continue, so I want to be more careful in everything I do.

Therefore, this time, I will tell you about the petite incident at an overseas restaurant caused by "inadvertent mistake" during the year-end and New Year holidays, with the meaning of ringing a warning bell for the holiday blur.


The first is the petite incident that occurred at Nando's, a restaurant chain that expands its stores around the world. According to the British media Telegraph , the store is about 100 times (!) £ 6,235.88 compared to a man who ate a total of 62.35 pounds (about 11,000 yen) including grilled chicken with his wife and daughter at Nando's London store. I heard that I inadvertently charged (about 1.15 million yen).


The man who paid by credit card didn't notice this and inadvertently finished the accounting. However, as soon as the man and his family left the store, the staff of the store noticed the mistake and completed the apology and refund procedures, so it was not important.

According to the media, the man said:

"Nando's chicken is delicious, but not enough to pay £ 6,000."

That's true, isn't it?


The second is a petite case in which a mere accidental mistake (probably) caused a "public execution".

British media Dailymail Online reports that the restaurant chain Burger & Lobster Cardiff (the capital of Wales) captures security camera footage of a message to families who have "forgotten" their payments. He posted it on the official Facebook page of the restaurant.


The message says, "Customers who left the store tonight without paying. Of course, we are confident that the customer just forgot. Please contact the store and pay. Please finish. " You want to urge them to come back for forgotten payments, while telling them that they know (believe) that they aren't running away.


According to the media, there are pros and cons to this post from internet users. While there were conspicuous opinions of anger and dismay, such as "I think there is nothing to humiliate on SNS," there seems to be an opinion that "the shop side did the right thing." By the way, at present, the liquidation from this customer has been completed, and the post of Kudan has been deleted.

Fortunately, neither of them seemed to be a big deal, but it is a common event at this time when the holidays are not awakened. Based on these lessons (?), I would like to tighten my mind.
