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.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
