I drove by a church sign the other day that said:
"Come on in for a warm welcome"
I thought it was kinda funny at the time . . . you know a "warm" time . . . hell . . . I got nuthin'.

It's actually only been there maybe ten years or so. There was an old stand-alone Sears store where that strip center is that stood for maybe 50 years. They tore it down in the '90s and redeveloped the entire corner. It was built to look like a '50s-era McDonald's.Originally Posted by Norm In Norman

Norm,
I have an update for you. The management has heard your plea and changed the sign. It now reads "TRY ORE MCGRIDDLES."
Carry on.
Ahhhhh - I assumed this would happen.
How may I hep you?
Or around these parts it's "What you want?"
You want flies with that?
OK, I thought VK was just joking, but I drove by this afternoon, and it's true. THE SIGN SAYS TRY ORE MCGRIDDLES!!!!!!!!!! UNFREAKINGBELIEVABLE!!!!!! Obviously, someone alerted them by saying something along the lines of "uhhh, I thought you might want to know, you really want to use the version of "our" that starts with "o." Apparently, some stupid squack that works there doesn't even know the word "our" exists.Originally Posted by Viking Kitten
It's probably because literally 95% of the employees at that location barely speak English, something I've never understood in a customer service environment.
Don't go assuming anything, you'll make an *** out of u and me. har harOriginally Posted by Norm In Norman

Dude, that is an old school mcd's, as in blitz ate there as a 'ute' over 25 years ago. Maybe it's been remodeled, but I can still remember every inch of it as it was.
Old school with grimmace and the hamburgler, for gawds sake. Long before that sissy playroon shiite. I had to play 'skin your knee on the asphalt' at Mc Ds when I was a kid. The good ol' days.
