This next sign is just confusing. The lower part is a quirky little manifesto about this store owner’s laissez-faire approach to store opening times. Personally, I would find this approach infuriating and never patronize this store, because I would hate to show up when the store ought to have been open and find out that I had wasted a trip.
But then the top of the sign does actually have opening and closing times. Should we take the opening and closing times seriously and dismiss the text underneath as a funny little joke? Or should we take the text underneath as the truth and take the listed times as general guidelines? As I said, I probably just wouldn’t shop at this store and avoid the problem.
