TOKYO (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): Many employees are applauded for pouring their blood, sweat and tears into their work, but a waitress who works at a cafe in Hokkaido, Japan, has been fired for taking it too literally.
The Mondaiji Con Cafe Daku, loosely translated as the Problem Child Dark Cafe, on April 2 announced that it had dismissed an employee for adding her blood to a cocktail – reportedly at the request of a customer.Opened in March in the Susukino entertainment district of Sapporo city, the concept cafe’s gimmick is to hire “mentally unstable” and “problematic” girls as waitresses wearing dark, goth-style make-up.
“Cases of people getting infected from drinking another person’s blood are rare, but major diseases can be transmitted through blood, including HIV, Hepatitis C, Hepatitis B and syphilis. If there are wounds in the mouth, it is easy to be infected by blood transmissions.”
