Japan's Apple Store is INSANE! No Security!
YouTube ^ | December 13, 2024 | Know-It-All Nuggets

Japan is SO safe, it's mind-blowing! 🤯 I visited an Apple Store in Japan and couldn't believe what I saw. iPhones were just sitting on MagSafe chargers, completely untethered! No security cables, no alarms, nothing! 😱 You could literally pick one up and walk out (but obviously, don't!).

It's the same story with the headphones, iPads, and even the MacBooks – just a charging cable. Imagine unplugging a MacBook Pro, doing a victory lap around the store, and then putting it back! 😂

This level of trust is a true testament to Japanese culture and society. It's a stark contrast to some other places where you'd expect to see everything locked down tight.

I don’t do it and know not to there but was with someone who did. It was one of those small outside counter diner places like in Blade Runner. We almost got thrown out of there.

Just left Japan. Arrived at LAX,a filthy disgusting mess compared to anything in Tokyo, a metropolis of 40 million people.
Of course they are not perfect and have their own issues as a society.
But what an eye opener. Yeah, employees really can take pride in their work, greet others enthusiastically, and clean everything in their free time, rather than lay around and not know anything about what they’re being paid for.
Japan has some crime, but they say you can leave your wallet on the train in the morning and pick it up at the station later on.
Are Asians prejudiced against blacks? I didn’t see it, sure it’s true. But do you have any idea what American blacks think of Asians?
They hate them.

I lived in Japan 3 or so months at a time when deployed. Seldom if ever saw a cop but cause a scene and you were surrounded in minutes. Lesson learned but I loved Japan, clean and very respectful people..that was in the 80s but I liked it there.

If you get caught stealing an apple in Japan, you’ll spend the rest of your life lying on the floor in a dark 4x4 cell.

If the Diversity Dopes find this out, they’ll take full advantage of it.

There is also a lack of “diversity.”

Growing up in Japan pre-1968, my favorite store to visit was a toy store named Kiddy Land in downtown Tokyo. They encouraged you to play with the toys, even supplying all the batteries you'd need.

I never realized how spoiled we were, until we tried to play with toys in a US toy store while back in the States for a year. Wow! Did that store manager ever have some choice words for us!

“If you get caught stealing an apple in Japan, you’ll spend the rest of your life lying on the floor in a dark 4x4 cell.”

Not quite (assuming you mean the food), but you will get FAR MORE than a ‘slap on the wrist’ as they don’t give bail to foreigners, and they take their sweet time to get to you, so (from videos I’ve seen), something like 3 weeks in jail for your first hearing...but that is often delayed another 3 weeks. Eventually you will go to trial, and of course lose, and probably spend some time in jail, and then be expelled from the country.

Only good thing about the above, you WILL learn some Japanese as you’ll have no choice...but then again, you won’t be allowed to ever enter Japan again.

“There are refugees from Asia, Middle East, Africa and many other countries.”

I suspect the Globalists are FORCING them to do such. After all, Rahm Emanuel was Biden’s AMBASSADOR there. Sickening.

I’ve lived in Japan for 39 years and while it’s still a relatively low crime country it ain’t what it used to be when I first got here.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time (3 years) living over there, and even whenever I get back just for a visit.

I also seem to remember that the Japanese, while polite and professional, won't put up with the BS either. The Japanese prison system clearly doesn't care what an inmate thinks either.

America was once a Christian nation where you could go to most places without fear of being robbed, assaulted, or murdered.

People often felt no need to lock their doors.

Children could go out and play and explore the neighborhood and surrounding areas safely and with minimal parental supervision. They were respectful to adults, and adults behaved in ways that deserved respect.

When I was in the Ivory Coast many years ago, it was well known that if you went to the local jail, you better have friends who would bring food for you and the jailer.

If you went to the fed prison, they dehusked the rice by adding sand and pounding it. It was then boiled, sand, husks and rice for your consumption.
