People are stupid.
I will repeat that.
PEOPLE ARE DUMBER THAN FREAKIN' SHOPPING CARTS.
We have been closed since Thursday at 6:00 p.m. This is noted in several places along the front of the store, one of which covers most of a pane of glass. In case you are among the roughly 20% of the population that appears illiterate--because I have met illiterate people who are far from stupid--you might also glean this information from the yellow CAUTION tape strung up over the drying concrete at the store's entrance; from the security guard stationed at the emergency exit; or, if you're really observant, from the CONSTANT stream of people approaching the front door, turning around and going right back to their cars.
Or you might just grab a cart, try to duck under the caution tape or outwit the security guard, because, you know, you "only need a couple of things". And then you might get upset and brandish a flyer (which arrived in your mailbox a couple of days ago, but which clearly shows the GRAND OPENING as taking place on Wednesday, April 20th) and announce that you're here for the big sale.
If it was just one or two people, I'd feel better. But there were times, that security guard told me, when she could have used another body to run interference. I don't know whether to laugh, cry, or scream.

I don't hate people, I just seem to feel better when they are not around.
People are so wrapped up in themselves they can't process information that doesn't agree with their preconceived needs.
They're 386 PCs without preemptive multitasking abilities.....
Which is another way of saying single-minded simpletons.
