What a bloody mess: café worker sacked for "job terrorism"
Now here's a seriously weird story.
A Japanese café has sacked one of its employees after she allegedly used her own blood in place of coloured syrup to make cocktails.
The Mondaiji Con Cafe Daku in Sapporo, Hokkaido - whose name loosely translates to 'Problem Child Concept Café' - apologised for the staff member's actions.
The establishment’s owner added that the café had been forced to close for a day while all drinking glasses were replaced as a safety precaution.
“Such an act is no different from part-time job terrorism and is absolutely not acceptable,” the owner Tweeted.
The woman's motive was not revealed.
The establishment is one of Japan's concept cafes offering different experiences. Other offerings include cat cafés and maid and butler establishments.
The bizarre behaviour followed a spate of so-called "sushi terrorism" in Japan, where restaurant-goers interfere with sushi going round on a conveyor belt, Drinks Business reports.
In February, the share price of Akindo Sushiro’s parent company dropped by 5%, after a video was shared of a teenage boy in a restaurant in Gifu Prefecture licking and then returning a soy sauce bottle and tea cup.
Two major restaurant chains have disabled their conveyor belts and returned to a traditional table-serving process to remove the risk of people carrying out the crimes, which have include spraying hand sanitiser on passing plates of food.
