先日の配信で飛行機の中で機内食を食べ損ねてしまった
というリスナーさんがいらっしゃり
ぜひ一言お伝えしたいと思いリクエストを送ります。
まず長旅でお疲れの中
一食目のお食事のご案内を確実にできず申し訳ございません。
Wow.
Nice.
That's so nice.
I'm proud of the Japanese customer service.
Yeah. Yeah.
もちろん機内食は航空券の代金に含まれております。
そのため私たちは毎便何番のお席のお客様が
sleeping, no thank you かを記録し
スリーピングだったお客様にもお食事を楽しんでいただけるよう
お食事のサービスが終わった後も
機内を回りお客様がお目覚めになっていないか定期的に確認しております。
お目覚めの場合はその時点でお声掛けし
お食事を召し上がるかお客様の意向を伺っています。
OK.
お食事のサービス中にお休みのお客様はたくさんいらっしゃいます。
恥ずかしいと思わずいつでもCAにご飯くださいとお声掛けください。
OK.
逆にずっとお休みでお食事を一切召し上がっていないお客様がいると
体調不良かなと心配になるのでお声掛けいただけることは大歓迎です。
長旅お疲れ様でした。
次回のフライトでは機内食をお楽しみいただけることを願っております。
最後にケビンさんヤマチャンさんいつも配信を楽しみにしております。
これからも頑張ってください。
All right.
I guess this person is talking about the fact that you slept through the whole flight
and then like you were kind of like embarrassed to sort of like say that you've passed out on the meal.
Yeah, everybody's done and I just woke up and I'm hungry but um yeah.
No one's eating and did you say it was embarrassing for you to sort of like
Yeah.
Kind of like 気まずい to like
Yeah well not me but message.
Oh the message?
Messenger was like yeah I wouldn't be embarrassed.
I would like easily say hi, excuse me.
Can I get two? Because I'm the last.
Did anyone else just not have their meal? I would love to have it.
Yeah but he or she thinks it's a little embarrassing.
Everybody's done, start eating things and then just skip the meal but.
03:02
Yeah, right, right, right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Oh yeah, that's really, really.
It's really kind.
Kind.
Yeah.
Sounds so professional.
It does, it does, it does.
Have you received um Häagen-Dazs in airplanes?
I don't remember if it was Häagen-Dazs but little, oh yes.
Little ice like this.
Yeah they give out like cup ice cream.
Yeah, yeah.
I remember that was Häagen-Dazs.
Yeah.
That's pretty like, if you give out Häagen-Dazs?
What do you mean?
Like in a good way.
In a good way, yeah.
Like wow, they give you Häagen-Dazs?
Yeah.
That's what I thought.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Right.
Are the meals too much or too less for you?
Amount?
Yeah.
Um, just as, just as right.
Just the right amount?
Mm.
I wonder how they deal with that.
Like everyone has a different amount of like appetite, right?
True.
Yeah.
You can't do some okawaris.
Yeah.
Right.
Especially for the people who want to eat more.
Yeah.
I wonder how they deal with that.
Like, you know, if you can't eat much, then I guess just not eat it all.
Yeah.
Just give it back to them.
But for the ones that are still very hungry, I guess.
Yeah.
I don't know.
How do they deal with that?
Right.
Get seconds?
You've never seen anyone get okawaris, right?
Mm-hmm.
True.
Yeah.
True.
All right.
I guess they have to buy extra like sandwiches.
They have extra like menus that you can buy, right?
Right.
Right.
Right.
Right.
I guess you can get that.
Yeah.
If you're hungry, then they will propose to you.
Like, here's the menu.
Yeah.
Maybe.
Right.
Oh.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
Right.
I love little snacks that they give.
Oh, like Biscoffs?
Yeah.
Something like that.
Like little chips and little things.
Oh, yeah.
Like little pretzel snacks.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Those are good.
Right.
Right.
Those are really good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What would you be most excited for?
What excites you the most when they hand out all these goodies?
So, I remember that was when we went to the United States.
Okay.
Or maybe my little udon.
Oh, yeah.
I think that was the United States.
Yeah.
That was good.
That was good?
Yes.
That was good.
I mean, it was just usual cup udon.
Yeah.
You know, you can buy it anywhere in Japan.
Like the konbini ones.
Yeah.
Little one.
But I guess that was returning flight from the United States.
06:01
We've been not eating proper Japanese food.
Uh-huh.
And then, you know, the taste of dashi, like a smell of that udon's dashi.
Uh-huh.
That was exciting.
Yeah.
I remember I was sleeping.
Yes.
So, I missed that noodle.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
You missed the full meal.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And then I woke up and I, excuse me, I want to, I'm hungry, so I want to get the meal.
And then after that, I leave there, well, a little udon maybe.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
Yeah.
She prepared for me.
Oh, okay.
Did they give you like the actual like a kitsune no, aka no kitsune.
Ah, no.
Mini version cup?
It was already prepared.
It's like a named in a different way.
It's like a udon desu kai.
Yeah.
Udon desu kai.
That's the name.
Udon desu kai.
Yeah.
Udon desu kai.
That was the name.
Nice.
Nice.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
I see.
Yeah.
I see.
Well, that's lovely.
Yeah.
And then you waited like several minutes.
Yeah, like two minutes.
And then you just, wow.
Wow, that's good.
I remember.
That's awesome.
Yes.
That's awesome.
And I love the communication between me and like people.
Yeah.
Because you're sitting for like 10 or more hours without having any conversation.
That's boring, no?
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
So you enjoy like...
Yeah.
If it's possible, I would love to speak to people around you.
Like people, different seats?
Yeah.
Like we were sitting like...
Yeah.
Like having nothing.
Yeah.
Sitting side by side.
Right.
And like having no conversation for...
Oh.
You're that type.
Yeah.
If you have like a bar or something that people can go and have a little chat.
Yeah.
You'd love to do that.
Yeah.
You can sit there for hours.
You're that type.
Yeah.
I always wish, I always pray that I don't sit next to someone like you.
Because they're...
Right.
Yeah.
There are people that talk.
Yeah.
Where are you from, man?
Where I'm...
I'm from Japan.
I'm from Japan.
Oh, really?
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Like you probably can sense people if they don't want to talk, but there are a lot of
people that can't.
True.
They believe it's the best way.
Yeah.
And I just, I always pray that I don't sit next to anyone.
09:04
It's annoying.
Yeah.
I understand.
I understand.
I understand people.
And of course, me, myself, I sometimes watch this, watch the video.
Yeah.
And I don't want to be interrupted, so I understand you.
So, I'm not going to talk to somebody that, you know, spit the energy and like...
Don't talk to me vibe?
Don't talk to me vibe.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I sense that.
Yeah.
Right.
So, wait.
So are you giving off vibes of like,
hey, if anyone wants to talk to me, I'm open.
Like, are you sort of like opening yourself up
to all these like conversations, you think?
But I have also the mood that I want to see the movie.
Okay.
So you just change over time?
If I see the movie, I don't want to be talked to by anybody,
but if I don't have it like said,
and you're like looking around.
Anyone wanna talk to me?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm passing by, maybe, you know, maybe.
Man.
Yeah.
Man.
Because if it's like 14 hours of flight.
Yeah, it's boring.
Yeah.
Got nothing to do.
Yeah.
Yeah.
For me, talking to somebody would make it worse.
Make it worse?
It would make it worse.
Oh.
100%.
Okay.
More boring, like more stressful?
More like, I have to sit next to this guy
that I talk to for the next 14 hours?
My God.
I see.
God.
God.
True.
Yeah.
I understand that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So if it was a bar, or if it was a place
that people goes and then leave.
You can leave.
And you have your own seat, that would be good.
That would be better, right?
You just have to escape the bar space, right?
You don't want to be social anymore.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
That's true.
True, if you have somebody really annoying next to you.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's tough.
It's tough.
14 hours with that guy, oh, come on.
Yeah.
Yeah, I understand that.
Right.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was playing, when I was a kid, I was in airplane.
I had my PSP.
Okay.
I was playing a soccer game, actually.
All right?
And this guy next to me was like,
you can see him looking at my screen.
Yeah.
And I'm like, oh God, he's looking, you know?
Yeah.
And then I'm done with the match, and he's like, nice.
I was like, you know what I'm saying?
Oh, here we go.
Thanks, man.
Thank you.
What team are you playing?
Oh, no, I just, I don't know, it's a demo,
12:02
so I don't know.
I didn't choose, I don't know what team it is.
Oh, I like Barcelona.
Oh, you do?
Nice, nice.
I'm not really that into soccer,
I just, I like playing the video game.
I don't watch soccer, so I don't, really.
You know Messi?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's strong.
He's strong.
Yeah, yeah, he's a famous player, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Nice, nice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
So awkward.
You try to keep the stand.
Yes, but he's not catching it.
Yeah, he's strong.
That's tough if you.
Yeah, he sucks.
Yeah.
He sucks.
Yeah.
That's true.
Right.
Right.
Thanks for listening, guys.
Thank you.
Bye.
