Broken: Wal-Mart photo lab sign
This picture was taken at Wal-Mart. I have no problem with them closing the photo lab for 30 minutes, but there's one key piece of information missing - the time the sign was posted!
I don't know if the sign has been up there for 1 minute or 29 minutes. Without the posted time included, that sign is almost worthless.
The thing is that us Americans have to fast a lifestyle to be able to truly be back in 30 minutes. Also, They could leave it up all day and most people wouldn't come back to still see it up. The whole 30 minutes thing is broken, but the time of posting is an excellent Idea.
Actually, I find that a trip to Wal-Mart generaly lasts much, much longer than 30 minutes.
Wal-mart likes to leave out important details like this. I once saw a rollback sign. In the upper-right corner, it said "place was card here".
