>that weird sensation and the urge to return it, like if we were guilty of something we really didn't do. Same thing happened to us in a Spanish clothing shop. Wife went out with some blouse she tried and somehow this didn't trip that alarm at the door. While groceries shopping nearby we notice the blouse. >And we did, they guy thanked us like a million times. We felt the most honorable people on earth. We go return the blouse, the alarm starts while we enter then we have to fiddle explaining in half-Spanish what we meant to do. We end up paying for the damn blouse, with the guard next to us but we don't get a receipt because that's company policy (I'd guess a form of punishment so you couldn't return the item). In the end we both regretted returning it and kinda ruined the whole evening. Not sure if this is a valid Spanish/European-Japanese comparison but it certainly is a corporate versus humane shop comparison.
