Sometimes, we come across a sign that stops us in our tracks. These days, people sue for virtually no reason - McDonald's and hot coffee, anyone? - so it's a logical assumption that retailers are simply covering their assets by posting signs like this.
Although I understand the logic, what this trend says about the spirit of society is more than a little depressing.
Your turn: Have you come across any similar stating-the-obvious-type signs?
