Sometimes it seems to me shopkeepers don’t really want to sell anything – and sometimes they don’t even want you to come in. Here’s a funny and entertaining collection of not really polite shop signs and notes:
The owners of this store seems really picky about who is buying from them:
“If you are:
- Racist;
- Sexist;
- Homophobic;
- or an asshole
Do not come in” (source)!
And this owner seems really sick and tired of stories: “Do not bore the shopkeeper to death with stories of your collection” (source)
No “wheely shoes”??? (source)
This one is really friendly: no babies allowed (source):
A similar one: no children? No pushchairs? Are these guys ever sued? (source)
Very clear shopping hours: is it open right now? (sources: 1 and 2)
I do love irony in general, but people please mind your language (source):
This one probably belongs to a restaurant rather than a shop but I couldn’t help including it here for the beautiful shopping-deals concept: no fewer than 7 dishes, if you take 7-10 dishes you will obviously be allowed to spend 20 minutes there (source):
This shopkeeper probably couldn’t wait to close the shop (source):
Brilliant: “If we are closed, just shove your money under the door” (source)
Which one is the most polite? 😉
