“Don’t touch the bread with your bare hands” ... Bakery café posts warning in Chinese only [What do you think?]

[Financial News] A bakery café in South Korea has sparked online controversy after images surfaced of it posting a warning, written only in Chinese, telling people not to touch the bread on display with their bare hands.
On the 25th, a post titled “Bakery café writes notice only in ‘Chinese’” appeared on the online community Bobaedream.
The released photo shows a notice written only in Chinese displayed between the bread shelves at a café. The labels on the displayed bread were in Korean, but the notice had no text at all in Korean, English or any other language.
The notice read: “For food hygiene and safety, please be sure to use tongs and a tray to pick up bread. Touching or picking up bread with your bare hands is strictly prohibited. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.” The sentence prohibiting people from touching the bread with their bare hands was highlighted in red.
Poster A, who shared the image, reacted to the fact that only a Chinese-language notice was posted at a Korean café, saying, “It was written only for the people it was meant to be read by.”
However, the café’s location and its explanation for writing the notice only in Chinese could not be confirmed.
Online users who saw the post responded with comments such as, “They must have had their reasons for writing it only in Chinese,” “We call this pinpoint targeting,” “I’d feel safer eating the bread if it were individually wrapped,” and “They’d be better off putting up a picture of a hand and a pair of scissors.”
Others, however, said they were uncomfortable with notices targeting a particular nationality, asking, “What does nationality have to do with it?” and saying, “I once felt offended after seeing a notice written only in Korean in a restroom in Tokyo.”
