Or, I’m Too Lazy To Double-Check My Work.
On Saturday mornings I like to wake up early and take a walk to the muffin store down the street to get the coffee. There are about seventy-four coffee shops in my neighborhood, and for some reason this particular one is my favorite. Maybe it’s because it’s not technically a “coffee shop.” It doesn’t matter. Let’s move on.
On one of said mornings I took notice of a sign outside a recently opened bar. Check it out:
Sweet, right!?! I’m always down for free pizza. I snapped a picture so I wouldn’t forget, and walked on to the muffin store.
On my way home, as I was passing the bar-with-the-free-pizza I took a better look at the place, and noticed that they were wise enough to paint not one, but BOTH sides of the sign with their wonderful gimmick.
Something was amiss, however. Observe:
Need a better look? Can’t see the difference yet?? Here you go:
Now, come on. This kind of shit pisses me off. “Purches?” Who painted these freakin’ things? I mean, seriously!? Fucking spell check! HOW HARD IS IT PEOPLE?
These signs have since been replaced with nice new railings, and no longer is there evidence of the spelling crime. The first time I noticed they were no longer there I thought to myself, “Thank god those signs are gone! Now no one else will remember that they serve FREE PIZZA with drink purches purchase.”
$50 says it was a local laborer. that’s the price pizzeria owners have to pay to get cheap help.
in their defense…if you say “purchase” really fast and english was your second, maybe third language, you might spell it like that too!
haha…i hate brooklyn.
