So is there any stigma attached to buying it? If a person took it to the till, would they get dirty looks from other customers / the cashier? Or would they all act as normal?
I know it's not like the Japanese to kick up a fuss about much things... but this of course isn't your normal daily thing.

Of course there is a stigma attached to buying it. I have never seen anyone actually buy one... I am sure they probably do it when no one else is in the store. And the shop staff can't say anything... they are the ones selling it, right? Customers might pull their children closer, and the cashier would act normal as he isn't looking to lose his job.
