What is the point in comparing this packaging technique to the technique of tying ropes? Are you trying to say that this is not so special? Are you happy to write such a sour grapes comment? Pathetic human being.
The other day, I was at a perfectly punctual Japanese train station, and every time a train came, which was every three minutes, the station staff said, "Sorry to keep you waiting. The train is coming." Japan is the most wonderful country in the world.
Japan must be the only country to wrap something this quickly then apologise for making the customer wait. Train companies also apologise when trains are early. I must say their best is when the bus drivers took strike action. They still drove the buses so people could get around, as they were actually working they still got paid but the strike was they didn't get the customers to pay. The bus company resolved the very quickly.
In Japan, before you pay, the staff will ask you whether it is for home or for a gift. If you tell the staff that it is a gift, they will ask if you want to pay for the gift wrapping or if you want free simple wrapping. In this case, there are no ribbons or gift stickers, so it is free packaging. They will give you a free new paper bag to use as a gift for the recipient🍀
