that cronut you're eating? 46363 Central American sugar cane workers died last year to make it that sweet. now its not so sweet, is it? well, is it? wait, what do you mean it IS!? hmmm, it does look awfully tasty...

You have to admit it's pretty cool that all products mass-produced in China involve no labor at all and are built by nanorobot swarms.

That's not a cool way to refer to Chinese people dude

"i always think its a bad idea in any store to have any kind of negative signage"

Worst example I've seen was a fast food joint right next to a McDonalds restaurant. They'd chosen to hang a parody sign behind the counter that said "McShit." Great idea to make your customers think about shit as they're deciding what to order.
Didn't help that the place was absolutely filthy.

There's a grocery store down the street from me (across the street from Je55e) that is pretty notorious for that kind of thing. I really hate that. It makes me not want to patronize that business at all because why do I want to give my money to some hostile, childish jerk?

oh, marketplace?

The gym I used to go to was run by an unstable guy who would post signs and copies of correspondence relating to his feud with the bar next door. What good did he hope would come of putting up a sign accusing them of letting raw sewage leak into the showers?

More akin to the NO WIFI HERE sign, he taped a rude, long-winded notice on the window saying that their internet cafe was for CH337AH GYM MEMBERS ONLY.

disgruntled punter (Je55e), Monday, 2 September 2013 19:23 (ten years ago) link

Yes! I was going to mention that gym, too.

worst sign I ever saw on a business was "STUFF THAT IN YOUR TOWEL, TALIBAN" from some auto parts store post 9/11.

My boss went out of town and I got to live the high life, using his card to park in the parking deck across the street instead of parking underneath the freeway overpass half a mile away.

But the deck management has this typewritten sign (TYPEWRITTEN, I said) taped to one of the booth windows handing down THE LAW to the no-good valets who work the Downtown Marriott a block over. NO LOUD MUSIC. NO SQUEALING TIRES. NO SPEEDING DOWN THE RAMPS.

It made me (a.) hesitate ever staying at the Marriott and letting valet service park my car and (b.) ever parking in this deck under my own monetary volition should I ever endanger myself to a fleet of servicemen who squeal tires and speed down the ramps.

they don't do that, as the sign commands them against it

menards is like a long-running, decidedly less glamorous version of Lowes or Home Depot

More shirts. This time, it looks like it originated as a facebook meme, was turned into a shirt, then photographed and re-memed

I wish I could find the full version of the Menard's jingle. It's right up there with the Ideal jingle (If you've got a passion for fashion/if you've got a craving for savings/take the wheel of your automobile and swing on down to... IDEAL) for insane catchiness.

will rep for aly & aj's rush, a fair amount of ashlee and lilo as 'stands the test of time'. m2m is woefully unremembered.

Yeah, after seeing who's responded to this, especially clouds, I'm like "oh yeah, so that's where I heard of this place."

"Menards" must always be said loudly in the manner of the man from the commercials. Also I was really shocked a couple years ago to hear that John Menard Jr. is worth seven billion dollars - I had no idea his empire was so vast. I was also sad that he wasn't the white haired yelling man from the commercial.

I was going to pipe up with 'no I think Mendard's a disease' but then I remembered I was thinking about Meniere's

A friend in the know told me very disturbing dirt on J0hn M3n@rd, which is corroborated by the news and court filings. He's fucking nuts and vicious. And horny, apparently.

Which fucking SUCKS b/c I went to one of their stores for the first time a couple months ago and it was a wonderland and their employees are so much knowledgeable than Home Depot's.
