I am staying at Japan. I don’t speak Japanese.

I went down to the front desk at the hotel I’m staying at, and as I often did throughout this trip, pulled out my phone and asked Google Translate what time did breakfast start.

Clerk reaches for his phone that was charging in a nearby table, but his hand pauses midair. He glances at another clerk, returns to his seat at the front desk, types something in the computer and picks up at the printer.

He then hands me a printout from Google Translate’s webpage saying “it starts at 6am”

Now that’s an employee who has been scolded for using his personal phone during work if I’ve ever seen one!
