Disney Store - Kyoto Shijo-Kawaramachi — Local services in Kyoto

Due to the timing of my visit (January), there was even a seasonal special Mickey and Minnie set for Hinamatsuru (Dolls...

This store is intended for children, correct? I just visited this store to purchase something for my three children. I'm currently seven months pregnant. It's 37 degrees in Kyoto today. I was sitting on the stairs because I was extremely tired. An ill-mannered woman who worked at the store, named Kumazawa, approached me and requested that I stand up as sitting on the stairs was not allowed. I responded, "Alright, may I please have a chair?" She retorted, "You can go outside." Once again, with 37 degree. Not only am I a pregnant woman, but also a customer. This message is directed to the human resources in Japan: please be cautious in selecting your staff. You represent Disney worldwide. This is a...
