SUSHI BAR USES SHIRTLESS BODYBUILDERS FOR DELIVERY TO BUOY VIRUS-HIT BUSINESS - A sushi restaurant in Nagoya is trying to boost sluggish demand during the coronavirus pandemic by sending shirtless bodybuilders to deliver food to its customers.
The service dubbed "Delivery Macho", was established by chef Masanori Sugiura who is also a competition bodybuilder. He has recruited his friends who worked at fitness gyms to work as sushi delivery staff, as they were out of work during the pandemic.
The only condition is that customers need to order a minimum of 7,000 yen ($70)to get a taste of the delivery macho.
That's weird. For the first time, I saw a service in which shirtless bodybuilders are sent to deliver food to their customers. Honestly, I wouldn't like to see a shirtless bodybuilder bring me the delivery. I find it quite disgusting. And so, I wouldn't say I like sushi, but being brought by a shirtless bodybuilder seems like a very bad combination. I don't know if this is the best idea to survive the pandemic. I think that a simple delivery with dressed bodybuilders is enough. This is practiced in any restaurant. Bar füssen, my favorite restaurant in my city during the pandemic, brought a small gift like something sweet to every delivery, and I find that much nicer and more attractive.
Seems a bit odd, but if it works, then they should keep doing it.
That would make me want to order from someplace else.
Me too! Perhaps the owner is not targetting us...
@Merseyman1 That WOULD be my guess! S'pose they'd deliver to So. Calif?
@LucyLoohoo unfoertunately not, only Nagoya...
@Merseyman1 DRAT!
