⚠️ WARNING: Avoid the tax-free counter at Takashimaya Osaka! My experience with aggressive, unapologetic staff. ⚠️ URGENT WARNING FOR TRAVELERS IN OSAKA ⚠️
I just had a terrifying and deeply upsetting experience at the tax-free counter of Takashimaya Osaka.
When I asked a simple question during my refund, the staff member:
• SLAMMED their hand on the counter in anger
• Spoke to me in a rude, confrontational tone
• Openly said, "I don't care if you complain"
• Refused to apologize, even when I asked to speak to a supervisor
This wasn't just bad service—it was intimidation. As a tourist, I felt unsafe and disrespected.
This is a stain on Takashimaya's reputation and Japan's hospitality. I'm sharing this to warn other travelers.
