I was in a market that had signs up not only prohibiting photos of the case of expensive booze, they also put one up saying not to take notes about it. Guess they're pretty worried about either corporate espionage or comparison shopping

wow it even threatens to take away your photos or notes if you get caught

I know, it's ridiculous. And this was out in the countryside, albeit at a chain store.

Also, who writes 尚 in kanji? Maybe the only time I've seen that.

Ikr, it's trying so hard to sound formal. Maybe they think this will make the rule seem more authoritative

If that's in Japan, aren't all picture devices required to make a sound when you take a picture?

Phones are sold that way, but I'm not sure if it's by law or convention. But there's no issue using either foreign-bought devices or apps that don't make a sound.

Either way I can't quite imagine the scene of someone confronting you taking pictures in a grocery store.
