People really don't read signs

Picture it: an empty, dark popcorn machine faces the front counter. On it is an eight- by eleven-inch bright red Out of Order sign. And yet I had at least 6 people order popcorn within 5 hours. Seriously?

You could put that on an 8-foot by 11-foot sign and some people will still miss it. It is unfortunate for customer service workers that men and women do not read.

You could put that on an 8-foot by 11-foot sign thirty-foot-square flashing neon sign playing "I Fall To Pieces" and some people will still miss it.

Fixed that for you.

And we're the ones who get yelled at when the customers do not get their way because they didn't RTFS!

At Disneyland last weekend, it was fairly crowded, and the lines for Pirates of the Caribbean and The Haunted Mansion stretched far outside where they normally do. There were Cast Members standing at the end of each line, holding a sign on about a 7 foot pole saying "Line Starts Here." Still saw someone walk up to the Cast Member and ask, "Where is the end of this line?"

... "Line Starts Here." ... "Where is the end of this line?"

Well durr, they wanted the end, not the start.
