To the staff at Universe Club—or members who can answer from a staff member’s perspective, I’d really appreciate your thoughts.

After a date ends, I also send a thank-you message to the staff. Is that something you’re happy to receive?
I first send the gentleman a thank-you for the meal, but even though it’s part of your job, I also thank the staff for arranging things with my date until we actually meet.
If it just creates extra work because you have to reply, or if it’s a nuisance, I’ll stop sending them…
However, every staff member always replies so politely—especially since I’m Type A and don’t receive many offers—so I also feel that thanking them is simply the right thing to do.
I’m sorry this is a bit rambling and difficult to read, but I’d be grateful for your thoughts.
I’m a male member, Paper Airplane.
I’m sure the staff appreciate the thanks, but since we’re currently in a transition period with more people working from home due to COVID, I think it’s better to keep the staff’s workload as light as possible.
If they have to respond more often than they do now, I imagine it would be difficult for them to keep up.
Once this transition period is over and things settle down, I don’t think it will be a problem.

Maezawa from the Corporate Planning Office here as well.
When I was communicating with someone through a branch, I was happy to receive messages like, “The date is over.”
You don’t necessarily need to say thank you, though perhaps it might feel unnatural not to phrase it as a thank-you message. What I cared about was whether the date had ended safely and whether anything unpleasant had happened.
So receiving a message like, “The date ended safely. He was a gentleman and a nice person,” put my mind at ease.
That said, it’s not a problem if you don’t send one, so there’s no need to force yourself to report back.
Incidentally, when I received a message that served as both a thank-you and a report, I got the impression that she was a very thoughtful woman.

I’m Meg, one of the female members.
I think it’s wonderful that you feel it’s only natural to send a thank-you message to the staff as well!
It’s something I’d like to learn from.
The staff are always so thoughtful and polite in their replies, aren’t they?
I’m especially grateful to the staff member who handled my interview.
But I also found myself thinking the same thing as you—that I didn’t want to bother someone who was busy—so I ended up never saying thank you.
When I put myself in the staff’s position, I imagine they probably watch over the women heading off on dates like a mother bird watching over her chicks:
“Go safely, and come home safely.”
Thinking of it that way, I’m sure messages after a date must make them very happy.
Oh, that’s right!
There’s a survey after each date, isn’t there?
Many people add a few words of thanks there as well.
If it doesn’t have to be a personal thank-you, that might be a good option too.

She may occasionally wonder about it, but I think you’ll make a better impression if you simply express your gratitude honestly.

> I also message the staff to thank them after the date ends. Do you think they appreciate that?
Rather than whether they appreciate it, I think it’s helpful because it lets them confirm that the date they arranged went smoothly. I don’t think it would be a nuisance.
It may mean a few extra replies for them, but knowing that the date ended safely and without any problems means they likely won’t find it bothersome.
I think they’d be pleased that you took the time to thank them.
