In THEORY (and in their written rules/announcements too), Mcdo JPN did attempt to follow and implement protocols. I do recognize that. But in PRACTICE, these did not work much, if at all, because do you know one of the main factors that determine... 3.3/📌

... I vaguely recall seeing reminders/rules laid out by Mcdo JPN before the actual promo. Was unable to read it all until now. Also saw that during the reselling frenzy, the police were dutifully called. The promo was immediately shut down as well. 3.2 /📌

Now to start with what DID work first (because yes, there were also a few positives that should be discussed for a fair and balanced perspective): apology statements/letters were issued out immediately. Even before we went offline for my birthday... 3.1/📌

Which brings me to my next point: when a problem persists---and at a noticeable rate too---the recurrence means there is something long-standing that is NOT working anymore or does not work SINCE, correct? That means implementing change is necessary. 3/📌

I humbly and sincerely apologize to Mcdo x Pokémon JPN for these disgusting foreign resellers. Not apologizing for the strong language though, because I have NO sympathy nor empathy for resellers. This unruliness is said to be a recurring theme too? 2.3/📌

No analyses or excuses: simply put, these resellers are a waste of oxygen themselves, hence all they know is to waste food, waste staff/others' time/efforts and most of all, waste the hell out of the children's supposed joy and memorable experience. 2.2/📌

... this has since been met with backlash and rejection by both international Mcdo customers and mature Pokémon fans alike, but I deeply apologize regardless. I feel embarrassed and ashamed whenever fellow foreigners behave like this in/towards JPN. 2.1/📌

Alright, so before updates about life so far, ghostly husband being his usual self (GLAD HE LOVES MCR NOW BWAHAHA >:D) and pending manga cosplay threads too, let us first discuss the latest Mcdo JPN x Pokémon collaboration... and the reseller fiasco. 1/📌
