    “Saturday only” what? For the offer? The change in hours? No lottery on Saturday? Is the store only open on Saturday? Typos are fine, but at least segment your information to make it intelligible. (Note to self, post nonsense signs in windows)

    Maybe it’s spelled wrong for legal reasons. Can’t get sued for not providing if they never said what they were providing in the first place.

    Since this is obviously a gas station, it is quite likely the person who made this sign speaks english as a second language.

    Even if its their first language, working at a gas station often implies they don’t have the education or work history to work elsewhere.

    Can we stop punching down?

    After 30 years of the international internet I am pretty fuck sick of making fun of people who don’t speak English well. (Especially when native English speakers would fare way worse if the situations were reversed)

    It would be like going on RedNote and getting dogpiled for speaking Mandarin badly.

      I would fully expect to get made fun of if I said something funny by accident in a different language. I’ve had that happen when I tried speaking Thai in thailand and spanish in south america and you know what? It is funny! They explain why its funny and everyone has a good laugh and I learned something! Thats how I found out the double meaning of caliente! Languages are hard and sometimes the mistakes happen to be hilarious, its not punching down. I probably sound ridiculous to a native speaker but at least I know that and I’m making an effort.
