Someone explain...

The nearby Super K Mart has put up the Store Closing sign, right next to the Now Hiring banner.

You really need to get a picture of that...

I'll see what I can do.

Business follies

That's not as good as the one I wish I had gotten a picture of, and proof that although your business specializes in one thing (in this case, a restaurant), you really should state exactly what you are selling.

The International House of Pancakes, or IHOP, or as Anne and I named it, the International Temple Beth Latke, on Kirby and 59 here in Houston, once had a banner that read:

SENIOR CITIZENS
Buy one, get one free


So, I went in and asked for my free old person, and the waitress was caught so off guard she called her manager. So I took him outside and showed him, and said, I wanted my free old person, but only if it was fresh. He tried to explain, but I went off, ranting about false advertising and such. It was a nice evening.

Still, I wish I had a photo of it!

It's so nice that they're offering a job with real growth potential ^_-

Well, K Mart is the first thing I think about when I think career.</>

Don't forget the poor Joe Boxer guy. The happy dance is over.

I saw the same thing when Ames closed up around here. At least it's a good chance to get some good buys when they start marking stuff down.

Damn!

I just thought: where the hell am I gonna go to find my cheap fat guy clothes now?

Yeah, normally I'd steer wide of the old K mart, but I think I might look for some DVD's and such to see what they might be marking down. Good thought.
