Michael says this chaotic jumble of parenthetical-underlined-CAPSLOCK has been up since he started working at this California sushi restaurant, much to his amusement.
Adds Michael: “I don’t care how much a customer tips me, I am not going to satisfy all of their needs.” (So, no rice dicks, then?)
Honestly, it’s that last missing parenthesis that really gets me. Just close it up! Do it now!

This is like a bad Meatloaf song.

I’m very confused as to what this is trying to say. I’m guessing it’s what to think about when servers complain about low tips, but…even that doesn’t totally help.

If I’m a customer there I would want the staff to be doing what is on the memo. Heaven forfend the staff be reminded to give good service.

OMG, if anyone has worked for the Omaha restauranteur Ron Popp (Garden Cafe, then Wheatfields) you have seen signs ALL over the restaurant. My favorite was “Keep your uniform clean and pressed! This isn’t Denny’s!”

WHAT WAS THE NOTE WRITER THINKING?
(Not really thinking at all)
(Doesn’t understand parentheses)
(How can he improve on this mess?)

Laugh if you want, guys, but this is exactly how e.e. cummings got his start.

You can find a last missing parenthesis everywhere. Newspapers and magazines are guilty. Whatever happened to editors?

Actually, this sign would be extremely appropriate if pasted in all library study rooms and carrels.
Sometimes you need a stern reminder that you’re goofing off or procrastinating instead of studying, and the exclamation points may really do the trick.

This reminds me of that one guy who used to be on livejournal back in the day (and I’ve heard of him on other sites). He was always upset because he expected the most perfect service at restaurants, and would comment on customers_suck about how the OP didn’t do things right. He always write way too much and used caps and punctuation and bolding wrong constantly. It’s like, he wanted to emphasize one sentence but then wanted to emphasize a part of that sentence but also a word in that section of that sentence. He uh… stood out.

Was this written by the kid who dropped out of the Introduction to Emacs Lisp after the second day?
