Welcome to the world of Japanese businesses. They are really old fashioned when it comes to businesses to the point where even something so basic and trivial that could be discussed over the phone, or even through a video call, has to be done in person because "that's the way it's always done" where even if it's a blizzard, you still gotta get out and travel for however long it takes you, just to go talk face to face, even if whatever discussion takes only 5 minutes.That person being that late is rude as fuck. Shoulda rescheduled. There is such a thing as decorum
