Ya… I don’t believe this. If you work at a store and a client is asking for help looking for a size.. it’s not rude, regardless of its “all displayed” help me find it…

Wrong, some stores have stock in the back and have only one item on display 🤦🏽♂️

Ok let me explain the clothing thing bcuz i think it’s getting mixed up in the comments. So most of the clothes you see in a physical store in Japan are usually ALL display pieces. Usually you will see 1-2 of each item out, and those are for you to try-on in the changing room, check size/color of in person, etc. Sometimes it’s 2 displays of the same piece bcuz multiple ppl may want to try on/buy the same thing, though it often is one size only. Sometimes a store will have 1-3 displays of the same item because they are offering S/M/L sizing. But ALL that you see out are essentially for trying on. Once you decide that you want the item, you let the staff know and they will bring you a *brand new one that is wrapped in plastic usually. Then they put the one you tried on back on the rack for display. If the store has sizing, but one size is missing on the rack, that means that this size is sold out. Sometimes a piece will be left on the rack as a last stock item. This means that if you try on the one from the rack, and they don’t have any brand new ones in the back, you will get the one that you tried on. They will check with you if this is okay, because it may have damages or makeup from others trying the same piece on. It won’t be clean but you will still get the item you wanted. All of this doesn’t apply to stores like Uniqlo/GU, H&M, Zara, etc.

John Ohkuma :
The difference in Japan is, we don't have a lot of warehousing and stock rooms, so typically if it isn't out on the shelves already, they don't have it, and you asking if they do seems needless like you just want special treatment. But if you just can't find something, no problem asking; the only issue you might have is that they wont just tell you where it is, but drop whatever they're doing and show you. The other day I was actually glad when I gave up looking for peanut butter, asked a staff member, and she simply said "Same place as the bread." instead of walking me there to show me.

I usually ask if they have another size because I don’t want to touch everything and make a mess 🥀 one time I asked to the staff if certain shirt they had on display was available on M size and they said “sold out” ??

This isn’t true at least for stores like Bape, Supreme and Stussy. They have display shirts but you HAVE to ask for your size cause they have them in the back.

I’ve experienced this at smaller shops. My guess is due to lack of space they don’t carry large inventories or if it’s located in a heavily touristy area, then yeah , they’re sold out.

Now even just politely asking if another size is available is considered rude in Japan?

Popular stores such as GU are like Old Navy/ Gap and have it stored above. I asked and got my jacket in the small size since they only had Medium and large out
