Way to communicate contempt for your customers. If you’re in the business of selling decorative replicas of cartoon swords, you need to be in on the kayfabe. Nobody is expecting to take one of these to a real swordfight. What they are expecting, however, is to have a cool prop to show their friends, and it’s not unreasonable to expect the cool prop to feel like it’s not trying to fly across the yard if you swing it around.
If you don’t want people to touch the merchandise, the second sign is all you need.
Well it’s sorta like an umbrella I guess: better to have one and not need it than need one and not have it. Especially if it rains on the sign or something.
And if someone wanted to check if it is a cheap wall hanger or a replica that could be swung, they might want to do more than just look at it on the wall.
Agreed with your other points but some mall ninjas genuinely believe these could be used haha most people that don’t know any better wouldn’t know why they couldn’t

True, though it would probably help if a significant amount of it wasn’t obscured behind said merchandise…
I’ve worked in retail. Nobody is reading that sign anyhow.
Not true. I for one can’t see a sign without wanting to read it out of pure curiosity of what it might say and I’m sure others feel the same lol.
Whether people reading it are all OBEYING the instructions is another matter, though 😁
But that means you aren’t the person this is for. The ones who should read that won’t. Paradoxical

Right? If you don’t want people handling your cool replica swords then maybe stop selling cool replica swords.
Or just put them under glass.

You might think that, but most of these are called wall hangers for a reason.
Many of them have rat-tail tangs or are made with stainless steel. They might feel balanced, but are liable to snap if you swing them around.

Yes.
In particular, you ask questions like “what type of steel is this made out of” and “what kind of tang does it have”.

Shopping at nerd stores and being treated poorly by other nerds goes hand in hand

Right, exactly what all store owners want. For potential customers to go somewhere else instead.

In what way is testing the merchandise you might want to buy being a spoiled, entitled cunt?
