I dont remember the name, but in a TV show I watch something similar.

Should this be "convenient Cirno" or "convenient for Cirno"?

Given the context, that was a pretty ⑨ thing to do...but the reactions are pretty messed up. Boycotting all the stores? The ice cream company cancelling their franchise? Yikes!

The boycott is something I can understand, as I generally tend to avoid shopping at convenience stores and grocery stores whose employees have difficulty differentiating between "foodstuffs" and "bedding." As for the cancellation of the franchise contract:

Japan Today said:

In a statement to media, Lawson said the photo was taken while the employee was off-duty, but added that mishandling of foodstuffs is strictly forbidden by company policy. The company said that it had decided to dissolve the franchise contract until another owner can be found.

Lawson cancelling the franchise until a new franchisee can be found is not exactly an overreaction.

I can understand the store being closed but boycotting the entire chain is a bit much. People are going to find a way to do dumb things singularly everywhere no matter how much you train your workforce. It's not like every store in the chain will have a freezer sleeping habit.
