Chat: Major Japanese noodle chain is closing on Christmas Eve so workers can spend time with families SoraNews
A: Hey there! Did you read the news about Marugame Udon?
B: No, what's up?
A: They're having this thing called Marugame Family Night! It sounds like they have deals for families or something, right? But actually...
B: Hm, that doesn't sound quite right. What's the real deal?
A: Well, it turns out they're giving their workers Christmas Eve off! That means no more hot udon bowls on that day. They figure everyone deserves to spend time with their families instead of working.
B: Wow, that's really thoughtful of them! I hope more companies follow suit.
A: Yeah, it's part of their Happiness Capital Management initiative for mental well-being. Some say it might help reduce food waste too since most people choose other options on Christmas Eve anyway.
B: That makes sense. Too bad for those who wanted a quiet night with udon though!
A: True, but they might open a few branches just in case. So maybe you could still go if your local one isn't open.
B: I guess that helps. It's great to see companies caring for their employees like this. Merry Christmas Eve! 😉
