Japan's Conveyor Sushi Under Threat

G'day, Japan is famed for quite a few things. And two of those things are conveyor belt sushi and manners.

However, these defining aspects of Japanese culture have been under attack recently. The rise of "sushi terrorists" has seen a growing number of conveyor belt sushi establishments defiled by customers licking tea cups and soy sauce bottles before putting them back on the conveyor. How do we know? Because, well, they're videotaping themselves doing it.

How do you say "ew, gross" in Japanese? Other less saliva-forward sushi terrorists have stuck with more traditional forms of pranksterism by adding extra wasabi to sushi or stealing or mixing up other people's orders. A little less disgusting, but still an affront to the sanctity of Japan's conveyor sushi industry. Restaurants have responded by centralizing soy sauce bottles and cutlery stations and offering sanitation of utensils upon request. Which is great...but also, why can't people just, like, not lick soy sauce bottles in public? Is that type of world too much to ask for nowadays? IS IT?
