Strictly speaking, it's not offically "shoplifting" or stealing yet until you leave the store premises.

That's the reason why you have to wait for the person to exit the door.

If the store staff jumped the gun inside the shop and the customer says "i'm not done yet as i forgot some items and i will pay the plastic bag together with it.. etc etc" that would have been grounds for complaint againts the store.

They were able to purchase lands/properties for their Mosques/prayer rooms

What's stopping them from doing the same for their cemeteries?

I know a few Muslims in Japan and from what i've heard they usually have more than enough funds for these things

What would you have done?

Yes, as expected, the best the government can come up with is to urge Fuji TV to clean up its act. The government is always urging for this and that but the underlining issues of cronyism, conflict of interest, graft, kickbacks and other forms of corruption are never addressed and a proper, transparent investigation never takes place.

Easy make these comments until you become a business owner yourself

I've seen enough people who ate their own words and become the person they used to hate

Sometimes even worse

Posted in: Japanese actor dropped from beer ad campaign after drunken escapade See in context

Yes, it was a mistake but it's not like he went inside a random house

You can make sense of how this can happen

I used to live in a mansion and i would say this happened to me at least 2-3 times

Got off the wrong floor and unfortunately, the door was unlocked

I think some families with kids unlock their doors in the afternoon as they expect their kids to be coming home

Very unfortunate victims

I wonder what measures the other countries have in terms of regulating senior drivers

Maybe Japan can learn from them

Posted in: Used smartphone sales to hit record high in Japan amid price hikes See in context

It's good that using pre-owned goods/items (in general) are becoming a normal thing

I've bought and used a lot of pre-owned items but never a smart phone so far

But I've been using my iPhone 8 that i bought new for around 7 years now

I guess one thing people should do is not to keep "upgrading" unless it's is really necessary

I don't really care and it's none of my business

But i care enough to read articles that i know right from the headline that it is something that i don't care about (or even hate) but will still read it anyway and share comments with others who are doing the same thing and talk about how we don't really care about (and hate) what we just read that we all know from the beginning that it is something that we don't care about and hate

I've got time and energy

The player who threw #51 was actually not a pitcher that’s why the pitch looked “weaker”

Why are some people too sensitive about this?

Saying someone is great doesn't cancel out the "greatness" of the others

They can all be great at the same time

Just enjoy if you like it and ignore if you don't care

Saying someone is great doesn't cancel out the "greatness" of the others

And if you're sick of seeing something on your feed, you should just stop looking at them and start looking at things that you actually like and agree with

I can understand about not being a fan

But i don't understand the unnecessary hate this guy is getting

Why can't they just ignore him if they're not particulary impressed or amazed by what he is doing

@ian

That's how the Philippines make the USA think

But in reality, most politians are under China's payroll

The Philippines are benefiting a lot from the Chinese Government

China owns the Philippines

Filipinos don't even trust their own government

I don't understand how Japan can take this seriously

Not hatin, just sayin what is obvious
