I was at the Daily Grind just a few minutes ago for my afternoon fix, and there was a small sign on the side of the quick-cup-of-coffee register:
NO ONE
CARDS AT THIS
REGISTER
Of course they were referring to the One Card, but in my uncaffeinated state I seriously thought for a moment that they were saying that they don’t check IDs. As if they were sticking it to The Man, or something, and allowing the under-21 set to buy cups of coffee. Rebels, those baristas.

Wait till later in the year and at University Mall you’ll see:
Huge Mall
Wide Sale

I read it the same way! And Sally’s, too. But I have to express gratitude that it didn’t read:
“No” One
Cards At This
“Register”
I am against quotation mark abuse. =)
