Retail Therapy

of sorts


You have to feel for retail staff at this time of year when the world seems to go a little crazy.

However, I laughed out loud when I saw this sign outside a shop window while out Christmas shopping today. The staff were clearly striking back with a healthy dose of humour!

  2. Too too funny! I've seen some of those unsupervised children in stores and restaurants. I can well understand their ire.

  3. thanks for sharing that photo - I enjoy seeing humor in business. During this season of lights - everyone should lighten up.

  4. They have a sense of humor and a little bit of threat, all mixed together - classic!

  5. Very clever and probably the least of what they would like to do with pesky children running wild in their shop. It amazes me sometimes what parents let their kids get away with.

  7. Ha Ha!

    Seems to be the "in-whinge" nowadays, unruly kids in restaurants and shops.

    Lilly, have a very Merry Christmas and Happy NY!

  11. That is very clever and a good warning to parents looking for the staff to babysit while they shop. Ha!

    My folks used to own an ice cream shop. They had a sign that said-- Unattended children will be sent home with a baby kitten. It worked for them too- Not one kitten was ever sent home :-)

    Hope all is wrapper up with the house sale and you're enjoying the holidays, Lilly. Merry Christmas my friend, xo jj
