This person nailed it:

I think his plan here is to make a scene, get thrown out, and then accuse Starbucks of racism and collect $500,000.

If he did it here, he would be a rich man. But I doubt it'll work in Japan.

You aren't even supposed to talk on your phone in stores/on trains here. A Japanese person would receive the same treatment. A lot of Japanese culture is about not being a bother to people around you.

Yeah, one of the reasons I liked Japan so much compared to Hawaii. People are quiet and respectful to those around them. Here, there's people fucking Face Timing everywhere, holding up the line because they're talking or texting, or even playing a God damn electric keyboard on the bus <_<

i mean its cultural differences...can't talk on your phone in public, but you can slurp your noodles as loudly as you want. when you go to a new place you need to understand and learn the standards there....

It was quite peaceful. I could do stuff without having to hear some inconsiderate loudmouth dipwad talking on speaker.

I mean if you need random strangers making loud noises to have fun for some reason then yeah, Japan definitely isn't for you.

It would at least make national headlines and every Starbucks employee would have to take racial sensitivity training lol.

It took me a while to get over my natural fear and nervousness around cops, but Japanese cops really are friendly and helpful for the most part. If you are lost or need help it's not a bad idea to ask a cop here. If you lost something you should also go to the cops. If you see something someone forgot it would also be nice to give it to a cop, but at least leave it where you found it and don't contribute to bad stereotypes of foreigners.

And at a Starbucks no less. Like, you could just do the same exact shit here in the US, why waste money, time, and existence just to go to Japan and pull this?

I can't stand when people watch videos or listen to music and they don't have headphones. Don't do that shit on the bus, in a store, or anywhere it may bug other people. We don't care to hear your shit, be considerate. Buy some rockcandy, they're cheap af.

Generally these people have fucked up lives where they have no control. This is the only way to assert themselves over someone else.

It's just a pathetic display of overcompensation.

That, or they're trying to bait a lawsuit.
