Higashi, a Japanese tourist, entered a restaurant hoping for a warm meal, but Andy, a cunning waiter, had other plans. He served Higashi reheated leftovers and planned to rob him. However, this time, things didn’t go as Andy hoped.
During the dinner rush, Louise, a new waitress, noticed Higashi, a middle-aged man dressed in a kimono, sitting alone at a table. He struggled with English and ordered a steak and rice bowl. Louise explained they didn’t serve rice bowls, offering fries instead, which he accepted.
As Louise cleared a half-eaten steak from the counter, Andy insisted she serve it to Higashi despite her protests about the cold food. He pressured her, citing Higashi’s language barrier, and even made racist remarks when Higashi objected. Reluctantly, Louise served the food.
When Higashi attempted to leave, Andy saw money in his wallet and decided to scam him. He spilled sake on Higashi’s coat and offered to clean it, secretly stealing money from his pockets. Louise, horrified, recovered the stolen cash and used a translator app to explain the situation to Higashi.
Andy falsely accused Louise and Higashi, but when a police officer arrived, Higashi revealed he was a journalist and proved the money was his. The officer confirmed the truth, leading to Andy’s arrest. Grateful for Louise’s honesty and bravery, Higashi offered her a job opportunity in New York, giving her a promising future.
