I can make reservations for halls and rooms at the neighborhood association where I belong.

However, the reservation is operated by the incredible "System in Showa-era". like, 4 people respond at the window, only one hour from 9:00 am to 10:00 am on Sunday,

(Since I have talked about the “backwardness” of the neighborhood association, I will omit it this time.)

I also did the hall reception several times, however I was more interested in the way the women(the so-called housewives) talk near the front desk.

When it's time to speak ill of others, they change the tone of the conversation into a "hidden style".

I basically write columns and so on during my work, so I don't care about other people's conversations.

However, as the conversation mode changes, I will immediately notice “Oh, they start their bad mouths.

First of all, I have always been wondering why they behaves like making it easy to guess the content of a conversation.

As I think it now, that mode change may have been an implied request, "the story from here is off record."

Let's change the board. my company's cafeteria has a card payment system, as a matter of course.

When I place the tray on the table, the billing amount will be calculated soon.

Then, just touch the card reader with the employee ID card charged with cash, and the female voice of "Thank you" will be played and the checkout will be completed.

The trouble is charging. This is because the employee ID card and cash must be prepared and charged on a dedicated machine.

Well, I think it will be a matter of time to be linked with SUICA and PASMO auto-charge.

-----

At the present time when there is no auto-charge function, if the charge amount is insufficient, a loud warning will be given as "Insufficient amount", and further "Please charge" will be pressed.

Naturally, this is known to those who are waiting for payment.

I have to hold the tray with both hands and go back to the front of the charging machine to do the charging.

I come to be a person shamed in front of others.

-----

In this case, the above "hidden style" might be useful. From the speaker, with a small volume,

- Hey, you. you're short of money.

Today, I book the bill down, so after you return the tray, charge it soon.

There are times when I think it would be nice to have such a system.
