Signage travesty at Victoria Gardens

I keep thinking that rampant corporate spin-speak is a thing of the past, relegated to the realm of inside jokes among those of us who have been in the corporate world long enough to know the true meaning of bullshit bingo. Oh how wrong we can be about things sometimes.

Shopping today at Victoria Gardens for a new rubbish bin I spotted this sign. Somebody without the appropriate training or the ability to think (either one of these attributes would have prevented the travesty of signage I saw today) created this sign. Somebody who didn’t care enough approved it. Somebody with an attitude of [shrugs] ‘not my problem’ laid it out. Somebody else screwed it to the wall. And yours truly took a photograph…

I really don’t want to turn into a grumpy old cow. But how difficult that path is to resist, when one is faced with temptations such as this. I am learning to cultivate a quiet, knowing smile. Uggh.

And also, a young checkout operator yesterday asked me how to spell saucer so he could find it on the database ’cause the barcode had fallen off. Double uggh.
