Ah yes.

Also: instead of googling for the opening times better waste everyone's time by sending a text or an email to the shop and making them spell it out for you!

Also: if you see the shop is clearly closed, lights aren't on and you can see the opening times on the door and they say it's not open but someone is inside better start knocking because surely they wish to serve you.

Also: never read the instructions of a product. Instead complain that it's broken and demand a new product. Repeat.

Also: if you see a price list/menu/price tag or similar and you accidentally read it, better double check the price by asking "does this item cost what it says here"

Also: "employees only" actually means "for adventurous customers"

Also: if it says push, pull, if it says pull, push.

sending a text or an email to the shop and making them spell it out for you!

That’s because the shops know that no-one reads the website and doesn’t bother to update the opening hours when they change.

When I worked retail, people would always call asking about hours, especially around holidays. I started answering the phone "[Name of Store], we're open until 9."

The amount of people that didn't process this because they were too focused on what they were about to ask was amazing. The best were the people that realized right after they asked , and you could hear the hamster fall of the wheel.

Not only do people not read, they don't listen either.
