It all comes down to the person, I think. Tohru, who didn't really want to leave anyway and was attached to the people at the inn, would naturally want to be stopped. But had he been set on the idea of going to a bigger and better place to advance his career but was also attached to the people he works for here, then asking him to stay would put him in a sticky situation.

Personally.. I think I would have taken Minchi's route too. Ohana's mindset's that straightforward "if you want them to stay, just say it!". It's not wrong.. but it does get her into situations that wouldn't have happened if she just sat and thought for a second :P.
