    Ah yes.

    Also: instead of googling for the opening times better waste everyone’s time by sending a text or an email to the shop and making them spell it out for you!

    Also: if you see the shop is clearly closed, lights aren’t on and you can see the opening times on the door and they say it’s not open but someone is inside better start knocking because surely they wish to serve you.

    Also: never read the instructions of a product. Instead complain that it’s broken and demand a new product. Repeat.

    Also: if you see a price list/menu/price tag or similar and you accidentally read it, better double check the price by asking “does this item cost what it says here”

    Also: “employees only” actually means “for adventurous customers”

    Also: if it says push, pull, if it says pull, push.

      sending a text or an email to the shop and making them spell it out for you!

      That’s because the shops know that no-one reads the website and doesn’t bother to update the opening hours when they change.

      I always mix up push and pull. They sound too similar to me and the time it takes me to think what I’m supposed to do, I’m already applying force in the wrong direction (or I conclude that push means to apply force towards me, because I end up mixing them up).

      Also: if it says push, pull, if it says pull, push.

      If there is a handle I pull, if there is a plate I push.

      I hate combo plate/handles

        Also a big fan of

        if you see a price list/menu/price tag or similar and you accidentally read it, better double check the price by asking “does this item cost what it says here”

        Because it happens when management has three different prices and five confusing “discount” offers scattered in line of sight. Is this 50% off or does that happen at the register or does it no longer apply? And you’ve got the same thing on the menu as a side and a meal, which one am I ordering, again?

        And

        “employees only” actually means “for adventurous customers”

        Oh, bathroom for employees only? At every location inside three city blocks? I guess I should just take a crap on the floor.
