    My favorite was at a Dillards in Omaha that is now closed. Next to the escalators, the sign said "For your convenience, restrooms are located in China"

    I used to deliver to a place that was run by avid hunters. In their restroom was the following sign:

    IF YOU CAN'T AIM, DON'T TAKE THE SHOT!

    What more amazing than the signs, is that you all came up with seven pages of replies

    If I'd ever remember to take my camera in with me to the restrooms, it'd be a lot longer.

    That's like the sign at my local McD's drive thru speaker - "Braille Menus Available". It got me thinking.....
    1) are there a lot of blind people driving in my neighborhood?
    2) if you need a Braille menu, how does a sign benefit you?

    The ATM in the drive-through of my bank has braille too... Im still trying to figure that one out. If you cant read the screen, what good is braille on the buttons going to be for you? How would a blind person even find an ATM located in the drive-thru?

    As of the OP, I can understand why it was put there. They are tired of paying to have the soap and paper towel dispenser's replaced. Can't blame them.

    Why would the manufacturer go through the expense of setting up two separate manufacturing lines for braille and non-braille buttons, then have to keep track of which machines and replacement keypads were for braille vs non-braille locations? Much easier for them to just make one type of button, it's not like putting those bumps on it is going to seriously impact the production cost.
