In today’s era of advanced technology, it is normal for everyone to have a mobile phone. Swiping a mobile phone while eating is also the norm for modern people. However, Kai Kota, the owner of a ramen shop in Tokyo, Japan, prohibits customers from eating while eating. Swiping the mobile phone to watch YouTube videos, the reason has also been exposed.
Japan’s “Sora News 24” reported that Kaikangtai disclosed the reason for prohibiting customers from swiping their mobile phones to watch YouTube videos during meals, because the ramen must be eaten as soon as it is served, but customers often ignore the ramen because of this. “Watching the ramen I put all my heart and soul into ruining before my eyes hurts me.”
Jia Fei Kangtai pointed out that the second reason is that there are not many seats in the store, and there are often people waiting in line. If customers swipe their mobile phones while eating, it will increase the dining time. However, Kota Kai also emphasized that it is not completely forbidden for customers to use mobile phones. It is also possible to take pictures before eating. He also believes that people who watch videos while eating are not trying to spoil the food, but may just want to relax according to their own dining habits. He also said that “the restaurant is not your home”.
