The Success Syndicate

Todays /success topic of the day:

What’s one outdated practice or belief that you think needs to be challenged or discarded?

I think we need to change the practice of saying “the customer is always right.” This can lead to toxic client relationships and to unreasonable expectations. It’s ok to say NO.

What do you think?

The culture of using cash in Japan. Japan has advanced anti-counterfeiting technology for bills, so cash is highly trusted. Even now, there are still many stores that only accept cash. When I tell people from abroad about this, they’re always surprised. While it’s important technology, it feels outdated.

That’s really odd, had no idea that was a thing in Japan

Everyone is surprised. There are even people in Japan who never use credit cards.

It’s not that they don’t trust banks or credit cards, but rather, the trust in cash is extremely high. If you ever get a chance to see Japanese bills, you might be surprised by the intricate anti-counterfeiting technology.

hah had no idea about this, we always look at Japan as a technologically more advanced country than us, but we never think about the small things like this.

do you think this comes from a place of not trusting the banks? or the technology behind the credit cards?

I’m the same way. It’s convenient to see the statements online, but many people don’t use them. Stores also prefer cash.

Crazy, I always use my credit card just for the 2% cash back
