Pokemon Cafe Osaka uses Pokemon plush dolls to promote social distancing

Pokemon Cafe Osaka may be open for business once again, but that doesn't mean things are back to normal. The store operators are still running with social distancing rules, making sure anyone who visits is spacing out an appropriate distance.

Rather than just putting up signage or informing each customer as they come in, Pokemon Cafe Osaka has taken an extra step. The employees have filled a number of tables/chairs with Pokemon plush dolls to show them as occupied. If you spy a table/char with a Pokemon plush on it, that means the spot is taken and you have to sit somewhere else!
