In Japanese culture, when leaving a restaurant or shop, it is customary to say 'thank you' (arigatou) rather than 'goodbye' (sayonara), as saying goodbye is considered too dramatic for this context; the speaker's father learned this by saying 'arigatou' confidently when leaving a restaurant, which initially embarrassed the speaker.

my parents.
Oh my god, guys. I've been to this restaurant, right? And I said, my dad asked, "How do you say goodbye in Japanese?"
And then I was thinking like, you know, I don't feel like Japanese people really say goodbye when they leave a shop.
Maybe they say thank you. They don't really say.
It's a little dramatic. Do they say? Do you guys say when you leave a shop? Like when you read a when you leave a restaurant, you mostly say goodbye. No, like or something like that, right? I don't know. Whatever. I told my dad I said my dad I said you can say thank you in Japanese which is or you know if you want to be more formal I was like but because I knew that my dad would never say because it's too long I was like okay you can say and it's easy and short and it's fine right my dad goes full confidence towards the waiter and say and then left full confidence and then as the elevator was closing he was like I said did you like it you did a good job I'm like dude I was so embarrassed
