"'Adultery Couples Greatly Welcomed' Self-Employed Person's Post... 'Heated Debate'"
There is an ongoing debate among netizens over a post by a self-employed business owner who welcomed adulterous couples visiting their store.
A, who revealed they run a restaurant, recently posted on their Instagram with the title "I am very happy when adulterous couples visit my store."
A explained, "This happened when I used to run an izakaya. Maybe because of the atmosphere or because customers like to chat quietly, a noticeably large number of people who appeared to be having affairs visited." They continued, "When adulterous couples come to the store, they look happy. Their arrival seems to even change the store's atmosphere. Expensive liquor that usually gathers dust gets sold thanks to them. Even high-end deep-sea dishes get to shine when they come."
They added, "The woman orders as much as she wants, and the man confidently tells her to order anything." They claimed, "At that moment, they look like the coolest and happiest people in the world." They concluded, "We just need to respect their privacy. Whether they break ethics or not, we have to make money. No matter what story they have, as merchants, we just need to do our part."
Netizens responded with comments such as "Sales really boom when adulterous couples come," "I'm just grateful as a self-employed person since they pay in cash because they're afraid of using cards," "Where is ethics these days? I'm just thankful if they let me make a living," and "Adulterous couples especially give huge tips," showing sympathy.
On the other hand, some criticized A for justifying adultery. They left comments like "Welcoming them even though you know they're having an affair. That's really shocking," "Is money above people?" and "If adulterous couples come, I think I'd kick them out because they're unlucky."
