Admin’s Note

I believe that the introduction of this insurance is a very important measure for stores and facilities. As troubles caused by difficult customers are on the rise, having a system in place to cover response costs will allow more businesses to operate with peace of mind. Additionally, making it mandatory to address customer harassment aligns well with the current trends and is highly significant. I hope to see more systems like this implemented in the future.
