Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The owner followed her out of the store and restrained her over ¥180? Where do people even find the energy to turn these kinds of petty disputes into full-blown confrontations?

Conversion link puts about $1.20 US. Shop owner claims she's done this repeatedly in the past so why wasn't she trespassed in the first place?

Probably because the shop owner was being reasonable and hoping it would stop without having to get authorities involved.

When you come down hard on minor infractions, it creates a culture of forced politeness enforced by fear.

Is it really petty if she did this on purpose?

She damaged a product badly enough that it can no longer be sold. If it was an accident, sure I can understand letting this go. But did she really accidentally step on some bread?

Where are you seeing that she stepped on it? The allegation is that she pressed it with her thumb, and she doesn't dispute that she pressed it on purpose—she was checking the firmness, which is a weird thing to do to a bun but I don't think it's worth chasing her down over. If you really can't sell it with a dent in it, telling her not to come back seems like a proportionate response. But honestly if I were the owner, I'd probably just eat the dented bun and call it a wash.

She didn't step on it, she apparently used her thumb and damaged one of the buns in the pack
