From over here, it looks a lot like the USA to us!!

DO NOT READ THIS SIGN!

At “Al’s Friendly Neighborhood Store”

Reminds me of a small local farm my wife and I visited a few years ago; just about everything was marked don’t touch this, don’t do that, etc., etc. Haven’t been back since. http://www.highlandfarmri.com/

Dire need of customer service skills

Welcome to the RNC/NRA Gift Shop.

Must be a “sign of the times.”

Dr. No’s Sign Shop.

That “right to refuse service” sign has gone the way of the dodo. Refuse service for a group and the next thing you know there’s a lawsuit.

There is at least one missing sign: No talking.

♪♪ Now, hey you, mister, can’t you read?

You’ve got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat

You can’t even watch, no you can’t eat

You ain’t supposed to be here

The sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside

Ugh! ♪♪

What does he sell signs?

Forgot “No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service.” and “No Smoking”.

No soup for you!

Leave.

Just turn your back and leave.

Please, don’t feed the trolls.

Of course, maybe the reason for the signs could be that few people know how to behave today, and feel they can do whatever they want, thus the need for signs specifically telling them what they aren’t allowed to do. The default setting for a many folks today is, “If it isn’t locked up or bolted down, they mean for me to handle/play with it.”

“Sign, sign, everywhere a sign

Blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind

Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?"

— forgot who sang that
