Why do Japanese girls like to be coffee shop maids?

According to the RecordJapan website on the 16th, maid coffee shops are more popular in Japan, and working as a maid shop assistant is also the dream of Japanese girls to work part-time. As the media often go for interviews and are sought after by otaku fans, they are very eye-catching. But in fact, like many two-dimensional practitioners, the salary of maid clerks is not high, usually only 80 to 1000 yen (60 to 80 yuan) per hour, which is very common in Japan, similar to hourly workers in convenience stores and family restaurants. So why do Japanese girls like to work in maid coffee shops? A Japanese website conducted a survey on this, and the following is the answer of a maid shop assistant.

"A maid who can talk to the master (male customer) can prove to be attractive."

"very casual, very happy."

"can wear a lovely uniform."

The maid also said that although the waitress uniforms in the family restaurant are also cute, most of them are older women, and it is difficult to make friends with them. In the maid coffee shop, everyone is of the same age, easy to get along with and convenient to work. In addition, it is more fun to chat with the "host" than to serve in a hurry. So, even though the hourly wage is only 850 yen, I still like to do it.

Another maid who wanted to be an excellent voice and idol pointed out that

"I worked in a barbecue restaurant, and the work was too monotonous."

"the maid's words are not boring when talking and laughing."

"it seems that there is a maid coffee shop that only plays games. Go to the interview next time."

It can be seen that for people who like to chat, the work of talking and playing at the same time is of course very attractive. But what puzzles people is why they don't work as hostesses. The contents of their jobs are very similar. And the salary is much higher, with an average hourly wage of 2000 to 3000 yen (160 to 240 yuan). In this regard, the maid and shop assistant explained as follows.

"the accompanying wine is named by the customer. I have to accompany it. I can't accept it."

"to tell you the truth, there are also girls who put money first, so people like that will be waitresses, right?"

"although the hostess makes money, it is very difficult to handle. Mood is the most important, money is not important. "

The last woman has been a maid for more than a year. The reason why she chose to work part-time is that

"I am a child, so I am not fit to be a wine escort with sexy clothes."

"it's nice to talk to the host here."

"the family restaurant is too busy to keep up with it. The maid can just talk. It's easy. "

"it's too hard to buy in a convenience store. I can't do it."

The image of the maids is indeed very weak, and maybe this is their charm to attract male customers.

The customers of the maid coffee shop range from "young owners" at the age of 20 to "middle-aged and elderly owners" aged between 40 and 60. Although the maids earn a low hourly salary, they can work happily, which may be better than sitting in an office. They also have a variety of dreams, such as "idol", "cartoonist", "hairdresser", "dental assistant", "OL" and so on. Therefore, it can be seen that the work of maids may be only a short process in their lives, so most of them have the mentality of "having fun in time".
