Japanese Store Calls Out Tourists For Their 'Bad Manners' With Brutal Sign

A store in Japan posted a sign listing off all the 'violations' committed by foreign customers—and it ignited a discussion about American tourists.

A store in Japan that was fed up with the poor etiquette of tourists posted a sign at the entrance that listed all the "violations" foreign customers frequently commit.

The sign titled "Requests for Foreign Customers" begins:


“We are very troubled by the many violations of manners by foreigners. These are bad manners.”

The sign then listed commonly occurring infractions like not placing items back neatly on the shelf or not putting them back where they belong at all.

Other observations included bringing outside food and/or drinks into the store, using the store and its hallways as a garbage bin, not understanding that most of the staff doesn't speak English (they suggested finding an image of an item or attempting to speak Japanese if needing assistance) and requesting a refund on an item that is not damaged or broken.

You can see the sign below.

Most viewers of the photo—which was posted to Facebook by a resident of California—applauded the storeowner for calling out unacceptable tourist behavior.

Many also noted that all the store is wanting from its customers is nothing more than what should be common courtesy.

Hopefully foreign patrons cooperate and respect the wishes of the storeowner, but it's pretty disappointing that common courtesy had to be requested in the first place.
