[Thoughts] Are utility bills cheap? You’ve got guts. But it’s a waste, so forget about it.

In any case, there’s been an awful lot of annoying solicitation lately. What do you think?

Will it get cheaper? Easily? Conveniently? All bundled together?
Is that really true? I wonder…
Same quality at a lower price—doesn’t that seem a bit suspicious?

When you actually read through the terms and conditions carefully, there are quite a few loopholes. In a way, isn’t it borderline? A bit of a gray-area sales and marketing method?

Mobile phone plans are the same way, aren’t they? The vibe is similar.
Cancellation fees often apply.

When you get lured in by the upfront savings and sign a contract, you often end up locked in for the contract period.
When you think about the overall financial balance, you’re shocked by how long the contract term is.
If you’re going to use it for a long time, that’s fine, but…
In reality, it’s hard to actually cancel or change things so smoothly.


When you think about it carefully…
If you bundle everything together—gas, electricity, mobile—into one all-in-one package, it might make things easier, but isn’t it risky to swallow it all whole?

It’s like joining that company’s lifeline collective…

They call you out of the blue with desperate sales talk.
“It’ll get cheaper, it’ll get cheaper”
“We can visit you today—what time works for you?”

Amazing… Tokyo… This actually works as a job… I’m impressed.

Really, do they actually enjoy it? Do they find it rewarding? This job…
The person doing it must be under considerable stress, and unless they’re appreciated, it seems like they’re only generating anger on the other end.

You’ve got guts… but it’s impossible, so just stop. It’s a waste of time for both of us.

People who can’t read the room are really tough, with their poor sales pitch they just keep clinging on endlessly.

In today’s social climate, “cheaper = better service” —isn’t that how it’s seen?
Imagine this:
Making things cheaper is honestly one of the easiest services anyone can offer. You just cut the profit margin.


I understand the desire to lower the price even a little on mass-produced identical items.
When you need something urgently, you wait patiently for the price to drop or something.
You spend time finding a cheaper price or something.

There’s also the point that they’re targeting that psychological gap.

Lately, amid an overflow of information and choices, I think people are becoming increasingly thoughtless.
It seems like we’re judging the world for ourselves, but actually we’re just choosing from options someone else gave us, like…
And even though we made the choice ourselves, we blame others for it…

If you take responsibility and make your own choices, wouldn’t you think more carefully and judge better?
It’s a hassle… Actually, I think that’s where service comes from.
Balance is so important in everything—I feel that even from a single phone call (*’ω’*)
