  • More hilarious posters at work!

    On one of the bulletin boards in the break room, they now have these posters that describe the certain kinds of apparel we sell.

    They broke down our apparel offerings into various categories, created a male and female character for each category and described their interests, occupations, and preferred stores to shop at.

    I tell you, it took everything I had to keep from defacing those things, they were so funny? My favorites:

    -the girl from our "young atttitudes" category, Emma. Her write up began "She is fun, impuslive, and knows she is cute." How I wanted to cross out the word "cute" and write "jailbait", because that pretty much what the description lead to.

    -the older lady Catharine from one of the other categories, who was supposedly an artist-type and was wearing a blouse that lookd to have been made from a bedsheet or something, it was so hideous. I wanted to change her write-up to read "Catharine dresses like a blind hobo on laundry day"

    Anybody else see any unintentionally funny posters at work?

    No, the funny ones we have are intentional and I couldn't screw those up more if I tried.

        We had a loss prevention poster hanging in our break room. Basically, the point of it was to stop employees from letting their friends steal from the store. You know, your friend walks in and asks, "Could you give me a free pack of cigarettes?" That kind of thing.

        Anyways, the poster had two guys on it. One looked normal (cashier), while the other was totally demonized. He was green in color, had elf ears, and the funniest thing was:




        ***drumroll please***





        The jacket he was wearing had a huge emblem on it that said "LOOKING FOR DEALS"

        Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh. How stupid is that?

        Olive juice you too.

          Those LP posters are stupid. Did your store get the one that had the Grinch trying to shoplift last year?

          I saw this cartoon in another stores office, I should have made a copy for my store when I was there. It shows a guy behind a counter talking to a customer:

          "What if we refunded your money, sent you a new one for free, closed the store, and shot the manager, then would you be statisfied?"

            I find any poster about how wonderful our profit sharing program and that it is the envy of all Canadian workers funny... mostly because since I go to university, I can never get 1000 hours in a year, so I never qualify for it...

            just freakin wonderful, that program is. I'm so glad that I'm a part of it and get my whopping $0 worth of stock.

              We have 'alternative' posters at work.

              One is something a company sent us as a flyer to advertise their consulting services. It shows four guys in a dark room stood around a frightened guy in a chair in the middle, and they're all weilding baseball bats etc. The slogan reads "There are better ways to improve warehouse performance."

              Some wag had taken a marker and effectively erased the 'better'.

              I don't know if anyone is familiar with the CHEP pallet system - they make sure you have decent pallets and a hole in your bank balance, but if you're not a member of their scheme, you always end up with what is effectively their property. If you're a minor user, such as we are, you get posters saying that we should arrange for free collection, store them separately from other pallets (do they breed?), and never exchange them for cash.

              The last one amused us - we hadn't thought of that...

                  the funniest ones we have are the ones showing people in the black book of excluded persons and what they have done to get excluded from the casino.
                  The mere fact that we have the flamethrower means that someone, somewhere once said "You know, I'd really like to set those customers over there on fire, but don't possess the means to do it"

                        I think my favorite LP poster ever was one that was on the C II cabinet for a long time. It showed a pharmacy technician who looked a lot like Shaggy with a plate full of pills that all of his family members were partaking of. I don't know why, but the image of Granny popping a stolen pill struck me as hilarious.

                          My store has this large, hideously bright bulletin board covered with a bunch of cheesy pictures and an even cheesier "inspirational" slogan, parked right outside the breakroom door. (I think it's something like "Reach for the stars") The letters are individual pieces of cardboard stuck to the board with tacks. So naturally, they get switched around, turned upside down, stolen, rearranged to form different and occasionally inappropriate words, etc. Someone does this just about every night.

                          I've often wanted to write down the slogan and run it through an anagram generator to find something really funny that I can change it to while I'm working a slow night.
