Meaning: Service
You’re loitering around in Ikea, just waiting for someone to help you. What’s up with this terrible service?
While you’re at it, imagine yourself writing a review about this Ikea on Yelp (or some other review site). Make the focus of this imaginary review be about the terrible service. Go ahead and make up your own story about how bad the service was, too.
Reading: やく
Why are you getting such bad service? It turns out the employees are all standing around just going “yak (やく) yak yak yak yak” (that’s the sound of people talking, by the way).
Go ahead and mock these employees by saying “yak yak yak” over their talking. Feel a bit upset about this as well.
