特別英会話教室コミュのコンビニガールズ

Do you suppose the konbini managers hire girls who are cute on purpose?

The konbini in my neighborhood has, maybe, 10 part-timers working there. Of those, probably 4 are guys.

The other 6 are girls, and they are all cute. Of those, 4 are VERY cute. I go to this konbini (Family Mart) not only because it's close to my house, but because the chances of seeing a cute girl smile at me and say いらっしゃいませ～ぇ are real, real good.

これ、コンビニの宣伝戦略かな？(^^

Yeah, you're right.
But I've not yet seen a high school cutie working at CVS elsewhere.

個人の日記をスレにしたみたいだね

[11] mixiユーザー 02月08日 00:40

何の為にこんなん載せてんだ？？

頼むから他所でやってくんない？？

時間返して欲しいよ。。
まじで。。

ガチャPIN殿>>　何のためって下記を読みな。ってか、ちゃんと読んでくれたかな？なら英語で投稿してみてね。で、時間はね、縮めるものでも、盗むものでも、貸すものでも、借りるものでもない。悪いけど、返すことも不可能だねｗ

他の皆様へ>>　I posted this topic because I wanted to discuss something about Japan, which I assume everyone here knows about, IN ENGLISH. If you're not interested in that, then fine, but don't bother to say so. Just move on.

[13] mixiユーザー 02月08日 01:20

You've got a point. This is a language community after all.
But why not welcome contradictions in English as well! lol

[16] mixiユーザー 02月08日 09:10

わからんけど気にくわんヤツがいたからいきなり英語での会話を要求してきたことは確かだよ

[18] mixiユーザー 02月08日 09:30

☺殿>> True, you are correct.

PortlandのAkiko姫>>　Yes, but of course such things are not legal, assuming you could demonstrate people are actually being hired to work in a konbini just for their looks.

o[r-r]o殿>>　いきなり？何がいきなりかな？ここで英会話を求めるなんてそんなに不思議？

イズミ殿>> Dude, what is the big deal? Try speaking some English, seriously. That's my only point.

[20] mixiユーザー 02月08日 09:39

I don't think this topic does not deserve making a new topic.
It's no more than a chitchat.
If you want some opinions about it,
why don't you write on your own diary IN JAPANESE?
Your friends will help you IN JAPANESE.

梟姫>> Hmm. OK, but I have seen this elsewhere, too. Starbucks, for example. Rarely have I seen a barista in Japan who doesn't have good looks (be they male or female), but I could not say the same about dry cleaners or pharmacies, for example. I sincerely wonder if having an attractive staff is not a deliberate strategy...

[23] mixiユーザー 02月08日 09:46

Mac of Balrog殿>>　Nice name!! I think you mean, "This subject does not deserve a new topic; it is only chitchat." You are half-right...it is chitchat. But then, I also think that is a great way to improve your English. As for my friends helping me...in Japanese...I don't need that. I'd rather talk about Japan in English with you guys. It's much more interesting. (^^

ぺぷし＠鼻セレブ殿>>　そこは気にせんでねｗ　法律の話しは半冗談として取り上げられたようで。As for your English, try this: "I really don't see how we went from 'konbini girls are cute' to 'pedophilia is illegal.'"

[25] mixiユーザー 02月08日 10:20

umm, I know it is not legal but I have seen kinda same thing in the US also. Like I hardly see non-caucasian working at In-n-Out. And people who are working at Abercrombie & Fitch look like they are all from its catalog.
It's kinda unfair, but what can I say?
Wouldn't you rather see cute girls?? lol

[30] mixiユーザー 02月08日 11:34

Masumi姫>> True again! Your example of the A&F staff is an excellent one. As part of their marketing strategy, A&F employees are *required* to wear clothing from the A&F line. The GAP is the same way. This is exactly what I'm talking about. I wonder if part of the konbini marketing strategy isn't to hire cute girls?!

イズミ殿>> What do my fetishes have to do with anything? I'll tell you something else, if you think companies don't market themselves based on the likes and dislikes of their customers, then you know not a thing about marketing. Appealing to what people want is half the point of business. The other half is making money.

梟姫>> Of course, konbinis can't hire *only* young, good looking staff, but they certainly seem to try! And of course, there's nothing surprising about finding attractive people working elsewhere. But then, that speaks to the will of the *employee,* not the strategy of the *employer.*

T/M/N/G殿>>　大変丁寧な投稿を載せて頂き、ありがとうございました。私の意図はただ単に日本文化（というと、私にとって異文化）に対して英語で会話することです。テーマ自体はどうも日記に載せるべき内容に見えますが、目的は誰でも参加できる雑談をし、注目を集めることです。

強いて言わせて頂ければ、目的達成しているようです。

追伸：Try posting in English next time.(^^

[33] mixiユーザー 02月08日 12:08

イズミ殿>> I cannot *make* a company do anything. Companies exist to make money, and effective marketing is one tool they use to do so. "Asian girl fetish" sounds like a pretty narrow market segment, at least in this country. On the other hand, the "I like to look at cute girls when I buy a brew" segment is probably pretty freaking huge, man. (^^

Working late at CVS in the states is a very high risk occupation.
My buddy in Detroit got robbed every once a year. He had to quit
before he get shot. I dare anyone would let a minority take such
position, especially if it's a girl.

nobu, please correct my language if you find anything questionable
then this topic serves the purpose! right??

[35] mixiユーザー 02月08日 17:19

☺殿>> You got it, man! See below.

"CVS"
Is this a new abbreviation? I've never seen it before. I know what you mean, of course...just curious.

"every once a year"
I think you mean "every once in a while" or maybe "once every year."

"I dare anyone would let..."
Here, I think you mean, "I doubt anyone would let," or maybe, "I dare anyone to let."

[36] mixiユーザー 02月08日 21:16

Cheers. More to improve eh? language and humor.

[37] mixiユーザー 02月09日 00:26

☺殿>> I daresay everyone can use more of both. (^^

[38] mixiユーザー 02月10日 11:25

Well, looks like the audience is bored. Perhaps it's about the time to move on.
ps Remember the age of consent! hehehe

[39] mixiユーザー 02月10日 12:33

☺殿>> Looks like you're right, lol. I will keep your sage advice in mind.

[41] mixiユーザー 02月11日 11:49

え！？「空気読め」って？？

[42] mixiユーザー 02月11日 22:22

☺殿>>　それとも、～ingだから「空気読み」かな？(^^
