Further proof for the "SC's lack awareness" file.
The convenience store I frequent a lot on shift has just undergone a major remodeling. Got the following stories either from personal observation or the clerk sharing in the misery with me.
The gas tanks had reached their mandated replacement age, so for about three weeks, the forecourt was dug up, plastered in caution tape, plastic orange fencing, and blocked by earth moving machinery.
Yes, customers still tried to drive around all the obstructions to get gas.
Even after the new pumps (with diesel now included, yay!
) were installed, they still had to wait until the end of the week for the fuel truck to come and top off the tanks.
Yes, customers still tried to get gas from the dry pumps, even though the pumps were wrapped in tape, the dispensers were bagged and "no gas yet" notes were plastered everywhere....
Then, in phase II of the remodel, the owners decided to finally replace the weatherbeaten awning out front, that was once yellow, but now was pale cream in color, and had big gashes in it where it had been torn.
No sooner did the sign company take it down and haul it away for scrapping, than panicked customers began coming in and asking if the store was closing.......
There you have it, as far as SCs are concerned Signs that say "don't" mean do! And signs that say "Do" mean DON'T!!!
