A manga depicting a supermarket manager flying into a rage at a female part-time employee became a hot topic on a 5ch thread. Questions poured in about how realistic the story actually was — from the ¥98 price tag on kyoho grapes (a premium Japanese grape variety) to whether anyone would really show up to buy pears in the middle of a typhoon. Meanwhile, running counter to what the manga apparently intended, plenty of comments ended up defending the manager as being in the right.

Wait, this is a guy?
I thought it was some old hag.

They're drawing the manager like he's the villain, but he's totally in the right.
98 yen for kyoho grapes? Yeah, of course he'd blow a gasket.
"Effort to minimize complaints" (lol)
Why are you telling this like it's some heroic saga?
Does anyone seriously drive out to buy pears in a typhoon?
Kyoho grapes run at least 500 yen even at their cheapest.
No, just call another employee or the head office where you trained and ask for instructions.
What kind of manga even is this?

It's just a manga fishing for sympathy over "I used my quick thinking and the manager yelled at me anyway! Isn't that messed up!?"

No way 98-yen kyoho grapes would still be sitting there unsold.
Actually, that itself is kind of suspicious.

Zero staff on shift in the morning? This supermarket's got real problems.
Why does this keep getting new threads over and over? What about it hit home for OP so much?
Here's the thing —
using bait online that people can argue with and dunk on is the marketing trend these days.
Even talentless manga artists figure they've got a shot with this method, so everyone's piling on.

They probably had pears in the flyer,
98 yen for kyoho grapes is a massive loss,
and there's even a typhoon built in as an excuse…

Lol, and there's apparently a ton of kyoho grapes still in stock too.
A supermarket clerk pulling the "I have more life experience" card is hilarious.
What happens to that huge shipment of pears that arrives after all this, I wonder?

That's exactly why it's 98 yen.

Enough with the stealth marketing for this manga already.
How much is OP getting paid?

Even if this is stealth marketing, nobody's buying anything because of it, so who cares.

Kyoho grapes cost more than pears anyway.
Could've at least gone with apples.

This is a really well-made manga — it pulls off self-introduction and scene-setting in a single panel.

Couldn't they have priced it closer to market rate?
Even as a sale price, 98 yen for kyoho grapes is a massive loss.

Can't help it, it's drawn straight from fantasy.

The manager's probably about to get chewed out hard by his higher-ups.

From the manager's perspective, a part-timer under his direct supervision is harder to explain away than an uncontrollable "baito tero" incident (viral misbehavior stunts pulled by part-timers).
