Forbidden in Japan

Some Ramen Place in Shinuku. "Attention Customers: In order to prevent skipping out on a restaurant bill. We strictly prohibit leaving without paying the bill. Manager" See. Now I'm not convinced that this sign would be considered much of a walk-out deterrent in a US restaurant. The beauty of Japan is that telling people it's forbidden to shoplift or a very naughty thing to kill people and steal their money, is still considered the ultimate argument to freeze halt any dishonest plan in the making.
