A Japanese store calls out foreign tourists for having “bad manners,” and they even listed them.
The sign reads:
“Requests for Foreign Customers,
We are very troubled by the many violations of manners by foreigners. These are bad manners.”
The disrespectful actions include:
-placing store items in the wrong shelves
-opening a product before purchasing it
-bringing food/beverages inside the store
-littering
-asking to return unbroken items
The sign also noted that most of the staff do not speak English, suggesting foreign customers to “prepare an image of what [they] are looking for or make an effort to speak Japanese.”
The sign went viral when it was shared to the Facebook page Japan Moments on Aug. 13.
Many users criticized foreign tourists for not respecting the culture and people of the Asian countries they visit:
“For God’s sake, educate yourself on the culture of the country you are visiting!” one user commented.
