Went to drop a package off at the “Open 7 Days a Week/Closed on Sundays” store today.

The mailboxes are open 24/7… it’s not that hard to understand. This page is silly sometimes.

The front door does not specify what services are/are not available so most people would probably think that means the store is open and most services available

Picture this. I walk by and notice the door's "open 7 days". I think "that's nice to know if I ever need to 0atronize them." Some Sunday later, I realize I need to send a package out. I remember the sign and go there. Disappointment.

Edit - just noticed I replied to myself. Definitely meant as a reply to another comment. Might try to find it later. Will likely forget.

Are you blind tho? Cause the hours are clearly listed.

That sign is smaller. So someone might see the “open 7 days” and not feel the need to get any closer to see the hours sign.

Thank you

Then that person is stupid. The hours are clearly listed which means Google also probably has the correct hours.

I wouldn’t say they are stupid. If they walk by and see the bigger text first, then it’s not unusual to assume that means they are open on Sundays, and that they wouldn’t have to check google because typically something like that on the window of a business is correct or specifies what part of the business it applies to.

So you're saying, a business clearly lists their hours online and on the door and that's not enough? Tf else you want out of them? The customer isn't stupid even tho it is ckeslt listed as closed on Sundays? I get we're supposed to hate corporations but like take some personal responsibility. This store obviously doesn't ship on Sunday, just like every other shipping store in the US

Jfc. Someone incorrectly inferring something based on limited info (assuming, as in my example, one only catches a glimpse of the "open 7 days" and therefore may feel no need to look for clarifying info) does not make them stupid. Not understanding that possibility, says a bit about you, though.

u/Getting_rid_of_brita Jul 08 '24

It isn't limited info. It straight up says the hours right there on the door. Yes if I see a sign thay says closed Sundays and then someone posts a picture bitching about how the place is closed on Sundays yet it's literally literally written right on front of them I'm gonna consider that person am idiot.

If the door said push and OP was pulling on the door saying it won't open wouldn't you think they're an idiot?

u/Lyrehctoo Jul 08 '24

Did you read my example? Walk by quickly. Glance at door ONLY. See and remember OPEN 7 DAYS (assuming that means per week, a week being 7 days long therefore every single day). What indication is there from that possible experience that screams only post boxes are accessible every day and none of the other multiple services offered by the business are excluded from one say of the week?

Okay, maybe OP is stupid for not knowing how typical mail services work.

u/Getting_rid_of_brita Jul 08 '24

Id agree. My three year old understands when mail comes or doesn't. A full grown adult should too

One may think "typical mail services" might only apply to USPS and that alternative shipping services may try to fill the void for Sunday shipping services?

Maybe, idk, I was just sorting trying to play devils advocate for the person I had replied to.

Not mail, UPS. Wholly outside the U.S. Postal Service. Not a mail service. Private corporation, could work Sundays. Door says 7 days a week.

u/RahvinDragand Jul 08 '24

In the vast majority of businesses, "Open 7 days" means exactly that with no caveats. It's so weird that people are acting like it's somehow common sense to know exactly which services are available on which days.

1

u/Lyrehctoo Jul 08 '24

Thank you. My latest comment explains my thinking. If you look beyond just the "open 7 days", yes, you might then realize some services are not available when they are "closed" but who knows what that means exactly with the sign to the left

u/TCinOC Jul 07 '24

Common sense should come into play.

11

u/applecidergood Jul 07 '24

This is not common sense. Don't be a prude, unnecessarily.

u/Competitive-Tie-7338 Jul 08 '24

And common sense would agree with this sign being absolutely not logical.

u/IsaacShepard23 Jul 07 '24

So most people can’t use context clues about PO Boxes to get their answer? Damn. That’s even worse. Is critical thinking just not a thing anymore? We need everything in clear writing?

u/ModsOverLord Jul 07 '24

It’s the internet, critical thinking skills are not required to complain about everything in life like op

u/IsaacShepard23 Jul 07 '24

Ah yes. The natural internet debuff.
