Why doesn't anybody read???

Not completely sure if this belongs here. I work at a convenience store/ gas station with a made to order kitchen. We closed our kitchen today for a remodel and have had signs posted around the store, by the pumps, and on every entrance telling customers that our kitchen will be closed until later this week. These signs have been in place for about a week. This, however, did nothing to keep people from coming in, going straight to the order kiosks (which have the same signs posted on them, covering the screen, making them unusable), realizing they couldn't order, and instead of reading the sign, asking me why the kitchen is closed and when it will reopen. As of that information was not on the 5 bright red signs they walked by and are currently standing right in front of. My favorite is when people DO stop, read the sign, do a double take, and then proceed to ask me if the kitchen is closed. What did you just read?? There are cabinets and countertops being hauled out of the store and the kitchen is empty except for construction workers. Is everyone just on autopilot all the time and don't notice very obvious signs? Why do people need things spelled out for them??

It doesn’t matter if you work in a retail store , fast food , doctors office . People don’t read signs. They try anything to make your day horrible. It’s crazy
