I'm sure this bizarre subject has been discussed before, but I think it bears repeating on a regular basis.
Why can't customers read and comprehend signs without full explanations of their meanings, even when the sign is pretty freakin' obvious?
The store I work for is having a 'clearance sale' (though it's really just advertising the stuff we already had on clearance), and all of these signs read something like:
CLEARANCE SALE! UP TO 70% OFF! ITEMS PRICED AS MARKED!
You know what the customers see when they encounter this sign?
70% OFF EVERYTHING IN THE STORE!!!!!
I have to explain to them that this is not the case and then go into the spiel about the 'UP TO' and 'PRICED AS MARKED' parts for the 1,458th time that day...
Also, I love when customers leave regular-priced merchandise in the clearance section and later someone else grabs it, brings it up to the front and freaks out when it rings up for full price.
"But it was in the clearance section!"
My ears ring a lot from the Moron Alarm going off all the time.
