What is with store/restaurant names? It seems to me that in order for people to want to eat or shop at their business, people would be more careful what they name a place. An example of a place I'm talking about is a store near where I live. It's called The Bible Book Store. They believe in placing their cards on the table. You know exactly what you are in for when you go in there. Chances are, you are either walking out with a Bible or a book. A name that bothers me is Cap'n D's. It sounds like a place owned by a sea captain who didn't do well in school. Also, the Dollar General bugs me. That pretty much says stuff is going to cost a dollar and there will be big barrels of saltines and pickles everywhere. Neither is the case. Although, I think I got a Cherry Mash there once that was made in the 1800's. There is a homey little store nearby called The Brier Patch. Brier is spelled wrong, it's supposed to be Briar. That makes me question whether they can ring up my purchases properly. 88 dollars for a crappy carrot cake candle?? Oops, that was 8 dollars. Sorry. Also, anything with a backwards letter does not sit well with me. It makes me wonder if they goofed on the sign, they think it's cute or they have dyslexia. Any of the above is reason enough to boycott.
My sister and I plan to open businesses next to each other. Her's will be called The Salvador Deli". All of the sandwiches will look very thought provoking and will be real conversation starters, but in the end, customers will find that they are not very filling. My store will be called, "Harry Pottery". It will be a magical place where you can buy an ashtray for 1.99. All of the products will have little lightning bolts made into them. Big sale on pencils holders a week from Tuesday. We are located on Route 9. You can't miss us, we are right next to Pacemakers (backwards) R Us.
