Japanese cafe sacks waitress who served cocktails mixed with her blood
- The Mondaiji cafe in Sapporo also apologised to customers over the ‘absolutely not acceptable’ incident
- It added the store, where ‘problem children’ serve cocktails, was shut for a day to replace all the drinking glasses
A Japanese cafe has fired a waitress and accused her of mixing her blood into the cocktails she made.
The Mondaiji cafe in Sapporo, Hokkaido, said on Twitter that they fired one of their servers after she made customers a drink mixed with her blood. The drinks – called orikaku, or original cocktail – usually contain fruits or other colourful syrups.
“Such an act is no different from part-time job terrorism and is absolutely not acceptable,” the cafe’s tweet on April 2 read.
The store’s owner added that the cafe – located in the Susukino entertainment district in Sapporo – was shut for a day to replace all the drinking glasses in-store. The cafe did not name the fired server.
The cafe’s name loosely translates to the “Problem Child Concept Cafe.” The cafe also advertises itself on Twitter as a space for dark girls and “problem children” who are also “the cutest” to serve their customers.
One of the specialities at the cafe is an all-you-can-drink menu, which goes for US$19.
