A passport with 15 stamps and 22 stamps in a Japanese shop
At 8:50 pm on May 20, a microblog called 'Japanese Food Information' posted a message stating that 'what happened just now, a Matsumoto Kiyoshi cosmetics store in Osaka, Chinese tourists only bought 3 The sun-resistant gold bottle sunscreen, the Japanese shop assistant nailed 15 staples on the page of the passport and pressed 22 tax-free stamps. Because the visa page could not be opened by the staples, he could not leave the country. The party called Japan The police, the police said that they had never seen such a thing. I called the Kansai Airport in Osaka to confirm that I haven't written back yet. The person considered going to the Chinese Consulate in Osaka. Is it an offence to deliberately damage the Chinese passport!'
Purple Bull News reporters saw that in the pictures exposed by bloggers, there are indeed multiple pages covered with many blue tax-free stamps. On the other page, the staple legs of densely packed staples appeared irregularly, counting up to 15 pieces. Because of the irregular arrangement of staples, it is clear that this page is full of notes and cannot be opened, which is basically invalid.
Subsequently, the reporter of Zi Niu contacted the blogger who posted the content. He told reporters that this was his friend's personal experience in Osaka, Japan. Because of the multiple trips between China and Japan, the parties are very familiar with the procedures and rules for returning home. Matsumoto Kiyosho shop assistants are also very rare. It is very likely that they will affect her inspection at the time of customs clearance, even because of her passport. Not in compliance and not allowed to leave the country and return to China.
The blogger told Zinews that his friend was very dissatisfied at the time, and immediately asked the shop assistant to improve her passport, demanded an apology from the other party, and called the police. 'But the store clerk didn't apologize, and finally it's gone.' The blogger relayed the party's statement to the reporter.
There are staplers in Japan that have tapes, so it doesn’t happen when you buy a lot.
So, if you buy a variety of goods in a Japanese store, will you encounter such a situation as the blogger’s claim that the party’s passport is full of staples? A friend of the Purple Bull News reporter is traveling in Japan. When this reporter contacted this friend this morning, she happened to be shopping in a Matsumoto Kiyoshi store in Osaka.
15 staples on passport
'I have visited a lot of duty-free shops in Osaka, and they are not sun-resistant. I have come across a family, but each person can only buy one. It is impossible to buy three at a time.' This friend told Ziniu reporter. And the Matsumoto Kiyoshi shop she was shopping in did not use staples to attach duty-free documents, but used adhesive tape. 'Every store is different. Some stores do use tape and some use staplers. It varies from store to store. Although I bought a lot of things, no less than the person you mentioned, but there was no tape. The situation of sticking to a page is not posted on the visa page, and the service attitude of the clerk is not bad.' A friend told Ziniu reporter.
Mr. Huang, a citizen of Nanjing who often travels to Europe and the United States for business trips, also told Zinews reporters that when he goes abroad to go to a duty-free shop for shopping or after the tax refund, he will put a small ticket on the blank page of the passport, but this will not affect the owner's entry and exit. It will not affect your next visa application. In the process of shopping abroad, he also made more purchases, and did not encounter the aforementioned situation. The clerk will consider it for the owner, and will not arbitrarily post or staple small tickets, which will affect the reuse of the owner's passport. 'In these places, shop assistants are also worried about being complained by customers, and they are also very happy when you go shopping, and the service is relatively good, which will not cause trouble to customers in these details.' Mr. Huang said that although he wanted to nail a small ticket, Can only be nailed to a passport with a visa, but some shop assistants will nail to the used passport page, and some will find the blank page of the passport. The experienced owner will usually remind the staff to choose to use on the used passport page Nail so as not to waste good blank pages.
'The owner who is shopping in this store in Japan and has this encounter may have a hidden humanity behind it, because the store clerk is contrary to common sense.' Mr. Huang told reporters that it is not ruled out that some store clerk has opinions on customers and does not consider the owner at all. The feeling of deliberately embarrassing customers.
Many netizens are disgusted by the Japanese shop clerk who deliberately nailed many staples on the passport page

Customers with passports will be nailed or affixed with product details after shopping to prove that the tax has been refunded, and there is a certain chance of inspection when passing the customs. Some netizens who have worked in duty-free shops in Japan said that this is indeed a regulation, 'usually a staple (or tape) and a duty-free stamp', although the method of selection in each shop is not necessarily the same, but in the situation described by the blogger The clerk behavior was obviously intentional.

However, some netizens questioned the information released by the blogger, saying that the blogger described the incident as 'a Matsumoto Kiyoshi cosmetics store in Osaka', but the address exposed in the subsequent supplementary comments was located in Kyoto. However, even if the location is doubtful, this fact is basically certain.
A reporter from Zi Niu found that a netizen left a message saying that his friend knew the shopping lady. It may be that the day-to-night sweeping of the goods took over all popular products, and the locals were unable to consume and annoyed them. However, the netizen also said that the shop clerk's approach is indeed inappropriate.
At the same time, some netizens pointed out that Bo claimed that the party had bought three sunscreens of the same brand, but the number of purchases of the sunscreen was limited. Netizen '@Q到骨子里' said: Usually the drugstore only nails one nail, and nailing 15 to the person may prevent her from tearing it off to buy restricted products.
The Nanjing frontier said that the passport was nailed with a small ticket, which generally does not affect entry
For many netizens who are worried that so many small tickets have been nailed on their passports, the visa page will not be opened, and when they return to the country, they will likely affect customs clearance. What is the fact?
