Quality Control

I have always loved this sign. Its like no one is able to look at a delivery guy and say, "That ain't right and I ain't paying for it. Don't hang it up, it makes me look stupid. Just take it back and forget the whole thing."

Portraying the correct emotion (in the correct amount) is important. If locals here say, "Nevermind." It just means 'Don't worry about it.' Like if you're about to hand someone something with your left hand and you try to shift it and they say, "Nevermind." It means its OK, you can hand it over with your left hand.

Think about it, though, if you were fumbling with some one dollar bills and the pizza guy said, "Nevermind." what would you do? Well, you'd just turn around and shut the door, right?

So what do you say when the guy shows up with a sign like this? You can't just say, "Nevermind" and turn around and walk away cause if you do he'll hang it up! And what about blowing out a big breath and rolling your eyes. What do those mean?

I assume that kind of miscommunication is how signs like this one get hung up. That and the fact that you can't return anything around here. Probably just easier to change your business name.
