To be fair it's not like Tokyo - Nagoya by Shinkansen takes a long time (with minimal stops). I think he should be back by the next day. Probably takes longer to get the equipment. I suppose Rebecca will be waiting at the new disciple's place?

Considering his step-sister and friends, I guess social standing really doesn't matter to him. Not sure if that is good or bad. Probably resulted in him failing to woo some girl from the masses while being in the top 1% though.

Restaurants in Kyoto are probably the most well-known examples of that. They've been in business for over 400 years with that kind of attitude, so their passive-aggressive response would be to give you bowl of ochazuke as a subtle "GET THE FUCK OUT, TRASH".

And though he could have phrased it much better, it does make sense in a Japanese cultural context, to kick out anyone who doesn't have an Adventurer's License.
This is Japan, a nation where carrying a kitchen knife outside if it's out of its packaging or you're not a professional chef/cook is illegal. Only selling weapons and armor to licensed professionals does make sense.
Not to defend the clerk's attitude, but his refusal of service to someone not licensed does make some sense.

Really, that's Reito's fault for not considering that he's asking for something that normal, non-licensed people aren't supposed to be able to buy.
Well you're certainly not wrong.
Though as this is clearly meant to be more of 'person daring to looking down on MC-sama will be punished' they wouldn't do the logical things and simply say "I'm sorry sir but store policy is to only sell to those with an adventuring licence." which is polite and professional with MC still needing to head to Tokyo.

Man he is going to single handedly reform all of the stores he used to frequented before he retired. That guy was a friggin douche. Try swiping his card before going off on a tangent. It's not like he was busy.

He was planning to quit anyway, so he just seized the opportunity. Since he's filthy rich, it didn't really matter to him in that sense. Moreover, he's obviously the kind of person who enjoys letting things fester and bloat under the surface until they explode. So, instead of just having the situation corrected immediately and resulting in the dismissal of one employee on the spot, he'd rather make it a problem for the whole organisation on a much higher level. I suppose it does have the positive side of forcing the organisation to inspect its own protocols and perform reforms to avoid similar trouble in the future. Because he's such a big shot that nobody should ignore him. And he knows it, despite acting so humble all the time.
tldr he's not a karen because he has fuck you money and influence

I once asked a bank teller at a certain branch to help me change my accounts phone number so I can access the app.

She said she couldn't do it and I had to contact card member services to do so.

The next day I went to a different branch, and the teller there changed the number for me, updated the mailing address, verified the email on the account in case I needed to reset the password.

So yes stupid employees exist.

Ah yes, the famous trope on typical chinese drama short or ragebait manhua, the gatekeeping store staff that prevent someone to buy things just because they don't look rich. then bullying their customer for no reason.
this manga keep pulling off this kind of stunt

If I came across someone as young as him that's retired - from ANY job - I'd assume that they're skilled/talented enough that they were able to accomplish more in that short time than anyone else that had to keep doing it for decades.

Plus what kind of business turns away customers without verifying if they can purchase things? Money is money in a capitalist society.

Kyoto-based and other very well-established stores in Japan that have literal centuries worth of business and clientele based on only allowing new clients if they've been referred by a known customer.
I know, I know, you're going to say that such a business model can't work because they're turning away money.

Their hundreds of years of being in business begs to differ.
I don't like it, but you have to argue against their proven results.

Sure, this clerk is there just to get slapped down by the MC later when Reito actually flexes his influence and money, but that's just because Reito just assumes that he should be treated special instead of needing to show proper ID that he is licensed to purchase weapons in a highly restrictive nation like Japan.
Like, did the weapon laws in Japan in this setting get lifted? Getting an Adventurer License seems pretty easy, and getting a license also seems to make getting a weapon, like a sword, very easy compared to how hard it is to get a license to carry around a sword in modern Japan, so perhaps the laws have been relaxed? Or are they only relaxed for Adventurers, and regular civilians are still restricted, like not even being able to buy mace spray unless you prove to the police you have a credible threat against your life?

One problem with your statement...that shop policy not to turn away any costumer even they are non-adventure... exception if they are criminal

That guy gets instant terminate when S rank adventure say he will no longer become patron or recommend that shop and absolutely don't want get serve by that sales person

STEPSISTERS.
I do wonder what will she become. :huh::huh::huh:

another problematic staff member... i'd love to see how he falls
how dare he treat shion that way!!!
First of all, a guy with a cripple girl, walk in weapon store, saying he is without license and want to buy weapons. It is normal the guy refuse selling anything.

Imagine it, a random adult guy bringing a teen cripple to a gunshop. There he buys several guns, enough to rob a bank, and say this is for cripple whom happens to be a STUDENT and she has no firearm license, and neither is the said adult.

Naturally shop will get suspicious, and have the right to refuse sale, out of safety concern.

pretty sure there are a lot of pronoun gender errors in this chapter. In particular a lot of lines say “she” when I’m pretty certain they’re referring to Reito.

Ok, then if it's store policy to sell to anyone regardless of if they have a license or not, barring a criminal record, then yeah, I do have to retract most of my statements about the weapon restrictions.

Though, it does seem kind of reckless and irresponsible as a store policy.
Like @OWMWO said, it would be like some random adult coming into a gunshop and asking to buy guns (specifically the best ones) without the waiting period or showing even a driver's license, let alone an actual firearm license.
It's not a shop full of tools that could be used as weapons, but actual weapons.

He lost his adventurer's identification card which had all his contact information in it. So as he never bothered with phones while he was an active adventurer, he has no method by which to tell said boss their staff lacks training.

99% the owner of the shop knows him personally.

Store clerk must like his free time, chasing out a potential customer who seems quite knowledgeable about what they want but doesn't look like most other customers. And while the clerk doesn't seem to have anything else to do, since they have a rather limited customer base.

Yeah, not much really happened this chapter.
