Driving Customers Away
We don’t understand why a bar would leave a sign like this on a board outside, encouraging customers not to come into the store. It’s common for some restaurants to close for a few hours during the day. Maybe the bar is closed and they don’t want to keep asking customers to leave.
A sign explaining the situation would be better than someone who would remember this and not return. On the other hand, what would bears be doing in a bar? Maybe this would coax people to want to check out the situation. Once they see that the situation is fine, why not sit down and enjoy a refreshing beer?
