Argh!
I was in Whole Foods earlier tonight, and they've revamped the line system (it's the busiest WF in the City by far, the place is like the Calcutta airport), so there are now 9 available lines for express registers instead of six, and they reversed where the express and regular lines were.
So, logically, they put giant, new signs showing people where to go.
The giant new signs read:
11 Items or more
and
10 Items or less.
Why?! Whole Foods was one of the very few stores that had signs that said "10 items or fewer." How did they manage to go from correct to incorrect? Though I do appreciate the mathematical specificity.
I stopped at the customer service desk, as it was between the registers and the exits, and asked, and the guy pointed me to the people he said were in charge of such things. I went to ask them, though I doubted they were in charge of creating the giant, printed signage, as they appeared to be floor managers. The one I approached, however, as soon as I said, "I know it's a minor issue, but your old signs said '10 items or fewer and now..." interjected, "yeah, they're wrong, right?"
I said they were; she said she's a substitute teacher when she's not at the WF and mentioned it to the people in charge as soon as she saw them hanging the new signs. She said she has no idea why they switched or who decided to go from right to wrong but that I wasn't the only one who'd noticed and she'll bring it up again. It's comforting to know other people noticed but still... WHY!? How?! What happened to the person who knew the correct word between the previous signs and these? Was he or she killed by a rogue melon and now no one who knows basic grammar is left? Why, WF, why?!

I'm sure there's something gets your goat that leaves mine sitting calmly in the barn. This type of thing drives me bananapants. 
And they worked at the Whole Foods... tsk.
However, I attempt to cope. 
there is a typo and still doesn't correct it. 
). Two of my favorites - "beckon call" and "baited breath" (don't stand too close to me!). 
) the next time we are at the grocery store! bwahahahaha
