AND THE SIGN SAYS...

Signs signs everywhere are signs

buy this dont buy that-cant you read the sign?

We sign in the grocery business-advertising this weeks sales.
Inevitably-most weeks-people construe that whatever is near the sign is what the sign says-no need to read.

Ultimately leads to confrontation. Between cashier and customer-gets taken to manager-
manager brings to associate responsible-a vicious circle.

i've been at this for 10 years. i throwaway signs that will lead us in to temptation.(ha ha)

last week-premio sausage links-2 for$5
(flavored rope sausage-$4.99 each as always)
co worker places 2 for$5 sign above the ropes instead of below the links.

problem me thinks (no, me knows)

"dont put those there."
" if i put below they get knocked to floor and wind up in garbage"
"then just throw them away now"
" i cant do that"
"have it your own miserable way"

ropes start flying off the shelf. shit is gonna hit the fan(who flung poo)

shit hits fan

store manager and co-worker are going at it on the sales floor
customers are watching/listening

meat manager steers them into cutting room
"get off the floor"

"i am gonna write you up"
"i want my union rep"

"you two-the both of you-stop it right now"
"i told you-dont put the signs there-
"we think we are so smart and the customer is so stupid"
"READ THE SIGN" but they dont"
"if we are so smart why do we do stupid things that cause moments like these"

"now, everybody take a deep breath-and lets be better moving forward"

store manager-"well-i dont think i can add to that"
co-worker-"look i'm sorry"

ever-becoming....
