Amazing, you get eagerly greeted with a bow, takes your order with a bow, serves you apologising for the wait. In Europe you are to be expected to wait, even have your order forgotten, never seen a bow or an apology, perhaps a smile, but nothing more, on top of that you are expected to give a tip for the lousy service, so the owner can keep on giving a shitty salary.
I understand your take on service outside of Japan. However, you should know that it's not a result of low wages. Japan has a minimum wage of below half what is normal in UK or Europe and there are zero tips or perks. People here just have a proper work ethic and consider it no loss to do their job well, even if it is for a sh1tty wage. The employment situation is also not good. Inflation is rocketing but wages are stagnant. Full time employees in regular jobs would consider $20,000 a year to be an excellent wage. There is just a different view on how to conduct yourself. Whether you wash cars for a living or make executive decisions, do it with the best intentions. There's a downside to that (employers face no pressure to raise wages), but there's a big upside for society (the atmosphere of positivity). I'll happily continue this discussion if you are interested. I love Japan, but it has it's own issues.
The Japanese lady is correct that wheat products, including noodles, are mildly addictive. "When casomorphin and gliadorphin enter the bloodstream, these opioid peptides travel into the brain. High blood levels of gliadorphin or casomorphin can cause addictive cravings for wheat or dairy products"
