Oh bro, I was extremely grateful to have obtained a pair.
The hunt for my size actually made me appreciate the shoes and the kindness of the Japanese even more.
The United Arrows store that I went to in Shinjuku said they had sold out and one employee actually called around Tokyo to locate me a size 12.
Once he found a pair, the dude actually took the time to request my pair be held, and brought me and my girlfriend at the time to a completely different United Arrows store which was located in a different mall in Tokyo. The guy held it down and really made sure that I got my pair lol.
My girl and I offered to grab some food or even just coffee with us, and he just respectfully declined and went on his way home (it was the end of his shift).
I made it a point to always wear my UA v4s only when I'm in Japan. I love these shoes, bro.

100% nicest service anywhere in the world. Like you said, they go completely out of their way to help and always do it with a smile. I had a similar story where we were looking for a shop...Asked some dude who was outside a small restaurant. He literally closed his shop up to walk us to the other place even when we told him we'd be alright and to not go out of his way for us. Even the Mcdonalds employees are super cheerful and nice, I love it haha.
