I didn't read the sign but it is still your fault

[tigger222]

Had a guy go through my coworkers line and wanted to guy a couple of containers of ice cream he rings it in and the guy starts complaining that the price is wrong and that they are supposed to be two dollars a piece. He looks over and the cooler and says "I don't see a sign on the ice cream sir". He says that it is right here and points out a sign for ice cream syrup. Coworkers tells him what the sign is for and he says that the sign is in a really bad spot and that we should move it because it is really confusing. My coworker looked at him and replied "Yeah I can't think of a worse place to put a sign than directly under the product that it is for".

The rule of signs with SC is as follows:

You can make them as BIG and as BOLD as you want.

You can put lights on them, make them spin, put in the most obvious places
you can thnk of....

....but people will still ignore them.

Unless the words "free" or "get one" are on it somewhere, then they'll highlight that like a major beacon, ignoring all else - "This says you get one free with any purchase" "No, this says you get one half price when you buy another one the same at full price".

god i hate it when people do that. . .i had one guy like that and i asked him what I should do differently. he said i should mark ALL the items in the shop that are NOT on sale, rather than the 1 or 2 things that are. simply coz he was too thick to read the sign. *ANGRY SIGH*

i love the ice cream sign ^-^

I have been to stores where everything is constantly on sale. Buy 3 pairs of socks for 10 dollars. And you have to buy 3 pairs, because if you buy two you'd have to pay full price for both. which is like 7 dollars or something. So $14 for two pairs or $10 for three.

It was so weird. It's a very crazy store.

If he doesn't read the sign how will that help?

I have always said "The bigger the sign, the more people with ignore it".

But the reverse is not true: "The smaller the sign, the more obvious it is."

At the wholesale club, we have signs on the door, pitifully small ones, that state that those "heelie" shoes are not allowed in the store. (Or rather, they are, just don't ride them in the store.)

What do I see kids zipping around on all the time? -_-;
