When what's written is in a language you can read, what's up with that? Reading is free, so to speak, and it enables laziness by not having to find and ask people stuff

I'm not going to defend people that are too lazy to comprehend words on a sign.

What I will say, is that it took me entirely too long to look up when I was at the grocery store. One of my first jobs was at a grocery store and it took me far too long to notice the signs.

in my experience, its easy to not notice a sign altogether. too busy looking for some(one|thing) possibly

Reading is free, but my time sure isn't.

It is really discouraging when I have to wade through ads just to find the portion I am looking to read. If I can't find the information I need quickly, I just don't bother with it and go somewhere else.
