Q:
There are signs asking non-members to refrain from using the cafeteria during the busy lunch hours, but perhaps due to the increase in tourists during the summer vacation, there are a lot of people (especially foreigners) who are clearly there for sightseeing purposes during busy hours.
Many people use the seats in groups, and it seems like they are using them for relatively long periods of time, so I would like students to be given priority, even if only during busy hours. There have been many times in the past when I have given up using the cafeteria because I was exhausted by the crowds.
Currently, the sign is written in Japanese and English, but could you add Chinese?
Also, the coloring is already quite eye-catching, but I think it would be more effective if it was a more eye-catching color.
A:
With the increase in external users, the dining environment for our members has been restricted as a result, and we feel partly responsible for this. We apologize for this.
Currently, the Co-op has added Chinese signage to Japanese and English, and has posted warning notices at entrances, but we have not been able to improve the situation, and we would like to apologize again. We will consult with the university regarding this matter and consider how to make future improvements. We apologize for the time it has taken to make the adjustments, and we appreciate your understanding.
