Japanese Parking Lot Attendents

L&M both blogged about this topic and I cant resist joining in. The number of parking lot attendants and their apparent desire to go above and beyond my notion of what one might expect from a parking attendant is impressive. In this case M and I were having lunch at a Denny's near Osu Kannon station above an arcade. Three parking lot attendants were manning this arcade's lot. In addition to directing cars two of them could be seen giving directions to some pedestrians and one was constantly straightening up the bikes parked along the sidewalk.
