Default It's all in the wording

I wonder are these rules for restaurant employees or another store?

One has to make sure he knows how to say things. I guess they could not translate #8, 9 and 10 into English. Funny that they are the only ones with exclamation points.

I know the Chinese are working hard to get ready for the world to come and see the Olympics, so this kind of thing must be common in employee work rooms all over the country (on the left it looks like an "employee of the month" type bulletin board). I'd guess it's a clothing store, or a souvenir store that sells at least some clothing.

I know we have some people in this community who can translate this! Who's game to let us in on the whole story?

I know an awful lot of American stores that could use a similar listing.

I just love those 'forbidden' words.

The sign I remember most from China was a sign next to a statue that said
"No Striding."

Also at the great wall, the trash can said, "Don't call in thunder storm day."
