Actress Weng Hsin-yi, who is married to Chang Shao-wei, the second son of Taiwanese television personality Chang Fei, recounted a peculiar experience at a Japanese restaurant. While dining in Japan, Weng observed the restaurant staff seemingly deterring foreign customers.
She posted on her Instagram Stories that the staff informed foreign patrons the restaurant was full. Weng noted this occurred even though the establishment appeared to have many empty seats. This led her to question if the restaurant was intentionally limiting its clientele.
The situation took a turn when a group of Japanese customers arrived. Weng observed that the staff's attitude shifted dramatically, and they were promptly invited to be seated, despite seemingly not having reservations. This stark contrast in treatment fueled Weng's suspicion about the restaurant's customer policy.
Reflecting on the incident, Weng humorously suggested that perhaps she and her family were mistaken for locals, which allowed them to be seated. She mused, "Maybe he doesn't accept many tourists? He just misjudged us."
