There are a lot of reasons why people across the world love Japan, but the country is heavily hailed the most for its hygiene and etiquette. Japan, as a country, tries to instill manners in its citizens from a younger age. But the story is quite different in the West, due to which clashes and disagreements among the people from Japan and other Eastern countries are quite common, especially when etiquettes are concerned. A post, exemplifying the same, surfaced online, where a Japanese store politely asked its foreign customers to follow certain rules. The rules were written on a poster that was hung for everyone to read in the store.

The post was shared on the Facebook page ‘Japan Moments’, with the caption, “Are we (tourists) ruining Japan?!”

The post had a picture of certain rules that were shared by the store. The rules were written on a poster that was pasted on a wall. Most of the rules were basic etiquettes that are generally expected from the people. The poster also mentioned that the store was troubled because of tourists' behavious. The store also asked the people to not expect all the workers to speak fluent English. Rules against littering were also mentioned. 

The post left many netizens disappointed as citizens expressed their anger over tourists causing trouble in the store. Some pointed out that the fact that the store needs to ask people to maintain basic etiquette, is sad as people are not even following basic behaviour. The post was shared a few days ago and has pulled 40K reactions from the netizens so far.

Taking to the comment section, the people shared their disappointment. “Sadly many foreigners don't respect the Japanese culture or lifestyle. I've never been but would do my best to be respectful and mindful. I'd love to learn the language, speak it fluently, and then live there and teach skiing,” a user said. “Good for them. Frankly I wish all stores had a code of conduct to protect staff from abusive customers,” added a second user. “Sadly a lot of what theyre asking is just common courtesy. Which many Americans sorely lack,” joined a third viewer.
