No problem with that! It's nitpicking but I'd have preferred he used a more objective qualifier. And a bit less... judgmental towards what he thinks are "minor" countries.

I wouldn't say that the Nordic countries are minor. As a Belgian, I'll abstain on the status of Belgium.

But in no way I'd call Luxembourg major 😄

Anyway, this classification is subjective and reveals the personal biases of Sanders towards, apparently, rich countries.

Yeah, the guy in my story was to be a developer as well. Clearly it's way more confortable to work on Linux. The justification in my company is that the security protocols are already built for Windows so they don't want to redo the job on Linux. Handling to OS' would increase their work load.

In my story, he was not really fired. But a new hire in my company was handed his computer. Seeing it was on Windows, he asked to work on Linux instead. IT told him that Windows was mandatory so he resigned on the spot.

Based af, but he didn't even enjoy the burrito he ordered for lunch :(

Oh sure, I had no trouble answering to this after a couple instances. But the first times I was very surprised! I thought the cashier was flirting with me haha. After that I answered "very good, thanks" and basta.

As a European, asking how I'm doing is already too far. It was quite confusing when I went to the US.

I'm forced to use Windows at work.

Task manager itself has started to freeze and crash nowadays 🫠

I know it's an unpopular opinion but what's the point? They're obviously not talking regularly and people get avalanched by congratulations due to social networks reminders, so would it mean anything?

The ultimate decision comes to the owner, though. Should he bend to the customer's expectations? Or is it only his idea of the customer's expectations; because at least on Lemmy it looks like people don't care about the look of the staff. Probably not a representative sample, though.

I see a lot of people responding with "you don't have to be Japanese to cook Japanese food". I think this comic raises another interesting point (whether it's the intention of the author or not).

The analysis would be valid if it was a random set of nationalities: Asian, European, African, etc. But in the comic, all of the employees are Asian. I think there's a criticism that the restaurant owner is racially biased and only hires Asian staff. Why? I don't see another explanation that the staff must "pass" for Japanese, which would be problematic of the owner.
