The Fierce Competition of Concept Cafés With Inserting Tips!
In shops offering such extreme services, I wondered what the women working there might be thinking. I spoke with women working at concept cafes.
“I work here because I can wear cute clothes and the hourly wage is good. However, girls who can’t tolerate touching usually quit quickly. Those who are okay with it can earn quite a bit, as most customers want this service.”
The system is similar to cabaret clubs, where pleasing customers increases one’s income. Women who prefer not to work in cabarets or adult entertainment establishments but value high wages seem to be gathering at these shops.
Some even handle transactions discreetly with other staff behind the scenes to differentiate themselves and please customers.
Such extreme services seem far removed from the original concept of enjoying themed hospitality at concept cafes. One can only hope that the cafes return to their original essence.
