I’m Meg, one of the female members.
Huh?
I don’t remember taking my shoes off at the Osaka branch…
Though maybe things are different now.
> Spy
As expected of you, Maezawa.
That’s such an operator’s perspective, lol.
That thought never crossed my mind…
What would you do if I were a spy?
No impact whatsoever!
Yep, that’s exactly it.
I’m Marika, a female member.
I only know about the location where I had my own photos taken, so I’ll leave that question to someone else.
Inside the office, you don’t wear outdoor shoes. You can borrow items that are provided for the photo shoot.
However, as you can see from the women’s photos, many of the shoes are extremely loose-fitting, and they didn’t suit my taste at all—or really go well with the color of my outfit.
I had my photos taken in my own shoes, which were practically new and had only been worn a few times. Since photos can reveal tiny stains or scratches that you wouldn’t notice in person, it might be a good idea to bring a separate pair just for the shoot rather than wearing them there.
Maezawa from the Business Planning Office here.
> Could you tell me where each of them is located?
If you’re a member, I think the staff member in charge should be able to tell you.
That said, I can’t help wondering why the locations are so important. It might even make me suspicious and think, “Could a competitor’s spy have become a member?”
It’s not exactly sensitive information, and nothing would really happen even if people found out. Still, when I try to think of a reason someone would want to know, I can’t come up with one—unless they were a spy.
What matters is the woman, not the surroundings, I think.
> Are shoes not allowed indoors?
It depends on the branch, but these days, I believe more branches don’t allow outdoor shoes indoors.
At branches where outdoor shoes are allowed, the floors can become impossible to clean properly after about a year, even if they’re cleaned every day.
> If outdoor shoes aren’t allowed, do you wear shoes provided by the branch?
You wear slippers during the interview, and only put on your own shoes when having your photo taken.
You can also borrow shoes at that time, just like you can borrow an outfit, but there doesn’t seem to be much variety. So I recommend coming in shoes you like and feel are suitable.
These questions also seem to come from the perspective of, “What would I do if I were running this operation?” (laughs)
