    I dont wanna say the average person is stupid but they make it really difficult to not think so.
    Call it illiterate tunnel vision or whatever else youd like, but come one.
    Heres some personal examples from work:

    1. big neonsign at the door at eyeheight telling people when the store opens, 1 out of 6 people looks at it the rest doesnt even see it, one once was even mad and blew out the doorglass with a kick.
    2. registers, big neon signs to say "hey douchenozzle, next one this is closed) and even when another worker is waiting and lookin at the person, they still dont get until you loudly talk to them to come to the other one.
    3. god forbid someone needs something in another part of the store, unless you use children level semantics (go to blue line for example) they never find what they looking for.

    those are just my personal examples but outside of that you see it seemingly everywhere.

      1. Is it next to the 30 big neon signs advertising 4% off expired yoghurt? I must’ve missed it while I was looking at literally anything else.

      2. Is that sign next to the other shitty advertisements trying to get me to buy an overpriced candy bar before I’m out the door? Sucks, I’m not reading any of them. Deal with it.

      3. Your store is literally designed to make people get lost and lose track of time. You’re welcome to go fuck yourself and take your annoyance out on your corporate overlords instead of the regular people just trying to find the onions.

        im not in america, our stores arent filled to the brim with neon signs
        we have exactly one when we have a big sale and the ones at the register, nothing else
        our stores are designed for things to be easily found
