This Tokyo pub has a machine that sprays customers with disinfectant as they enter
As businesses around the world adopt new practices due to coronavirus, one Japanese pub is taking a novel approach to customer safety.
Visitors to Kichiri Shinjuku, a traditional Japanese-style pub known as an "izakaya," are sprayed with a fine mist of disinfectant before they are allowed to enter.
Upon arrival at the pub in the Shinjuku district of Tokyo, customers are greeted by a hostess on a monitor, who tells them to wash their hands and take their temperature with a thermometer.
Next, they walk into what looks like an airport security scanner, where they are sprayed with a mist of chlorine-based disinfectant for 30 seconds.
Customers then pick up a map that shows them where to sit, and scan a QR code to bring up a menu on their phone, from which they can place their order. Diners sit separated by clear acrylic screens.
Getting misted with a "chlorine-based disinfectant for 30 seconds" ???? Seriously ????
OVERKILL
Please tell me this isn't an early sign of what's to come.
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
