Mission statements on LL shops

[snorky]

What do these retailers think they are going to get by hoying some E-Z reading bollocks about their dreams & background in their window ? Does it affect your decision to enter the the shop ?

Surely their mission statement should be a standard Mr Krabs-esque " we want your ????" ?

[Pierre]

But if they say "we want your ???" then people get stroppy. If they spend ten minutes to print out an A4 bit of paper that says "we're a dolphin-friendly fair trade additive-free organic no child labour green happy sort of place that doesn't even use capital letters" then people seem to forget that _any_ retailer's bottom line is "we want your ???" and are more easily fooled into parting with their money...

Which shops in particular with such mission statements have drawn your eye?

"Shoplifters are warned, our security take no shit"

[Pierre]

"There are no dogs except guide dogs", often abbreviated, is one I find a little rude to the rest of the dog community...

?We are a forward thinking customer focused business with a philosophy firmly grounded in the relationship between new wallpaper and beer prices.?

"You know you don't want to make bread, milk cows, grow wheat, build houses, make carpets EVERY SINGLE TIME?? Well, let us do it for you and we can then let you have them - for a mutually convenient fee"

There - that's not so bad an idea is it?

Somerfield should adopt this one.

[Shu.Kurimu.Sensei]

Surely Somerfields mission statement should read something like

"Our business associates in Canada and India appreciate your generous donations" ? :-S

[Loz]

Surely Somerfields mission statement should read something like

"Our business associates in Canada and India appreciate your generous donations"

And if you don't like it, we'll kick the crap out of you.

I really don't see any problem with a mission statement involving ????

I'm less and less comfortable with people posting potentially libellous statements re: some businesses. Unless someone can prove Somerfields are complicit in the cloning activities (as opposed to it possibly happening there) then they would be within their rights to "take action"

Marge Simpson in some designer shop says to Lisa:

"I'm not sure we can afford to shop in a store that has a philosophy."
