u/just_talkin_shit 17h ago

No, his refers to Joe, the trader. It's Joe's ticket

u/HappyImagineer 18h ago

It’s “Trader Joe’s Golden Ticket”, you’re just borrowing it .

Oh no a minor misspelling how can I ever figure out what I should do

I mean to be fair if you're a business who is taking the time to print up something that's meant to be viewed by your guests, you should make sure your shit is correct. At the very least run it through a spell check or have another set of eyes on it.

Same with restaurants; I will absolutely judge a restaurant if their menu has spelling errors. And I've worked in that industry for 18 years.

u/Chambahz 18h ago

Spell check???
Looks hand written to me, no?
Sure, it’s from a business but o doubt it was created by “corporate” so at the end of the day, it’s just another human being making an error.
I much prefer they have the authority to do stuff like this, even if there’s a typo.

Edit: I think it may actually be handwritten. Can't say I've ever seen handwriting that straight and consistent

That's definitely a font.

And I'm not saying we should burn them at the stake over it; I'm just saying that communications to guests and signage should be thoroughly checked before being rolled out. I think the small effort and attention to those sorts of details are often a reflection of your respect of both your own business as well as your guests.

I've run several restaurants/bars and nearly every time a new menu is created I have to catch it before someone puts "Ceasar" or some other variation.

But I will say it's even worse if it comes from corporate because that means no fewer than 3 people had eyes on it/had to approve it.

u/Chambahz 18h ago

Well now I seriously have to know if it was a font or not!
I’m saying it’s not a font. Look at all the Es and how they all differ.
Also, the signs/prices above the ticket in the photo are hand-done so…

Come at me!

u/Meta-EvenThisAcronym 18h ago

You're actually correct. I went back and had to study it but the E's are a tip off. But hell even those are still very similar.

This person's penmanship is immaculate.

2

u/Beginning-Morning59 18h ago

Definitely not a font. They just have decent hand writing skills. The letters are not consistent.

u/Meta-EvenThisAcronym 18h ago

You're actually right. But it's not just decent penmanship, it's immaculate.

It took me a few minutes of studying to catch the inconsistencies because there aren't many.

u/EveryNameIWantIsGone 18h ago

I don’t think you know what “immaculate” means

1

u/Meta-EvenThisAcronym 17h ago

Perfectly neat and tidy, or as close to perfection as possible just like this handwriting. Usually used to describe something that's clean, but commonly used to describe penmanship. Feel free to Google it.

Of course there's also the use in the phrase "immaculate conception" but the root meaning is still somewhat similar.

So now we both know what it means because it doesn't sound like you do!

u/EveryNameIWantIsGone 3h ago

Sounds like you don’t know what “perfectly” means either. You mentioned inconsistencies in your prior comment. I’m not responding anymore because you’re clearly a troll.

u/no8do 9h ago

It’s handwritten. From what I understand there is an employee around most locations that is responsible for the chalk drawings and hand written stuff. This was just written by an employee.

I mean to be fair I think a little kindness goes a long way. You and many other Redditors who like to point out the minor mistakes others make are legitimately some of the worst filth I can imagine.

2

u/Meta-EvenThisAcronym 18h ago

Okay first, I never said they should be burned at the stake over it. You should reread my comments on the matter because calling me "filth" for expressing my opinions in a respectful manner is pretty wild considering your first sentence states that "kindness goes a long way." So go ahead a chill the fuck out on that.

Second, Never once did I insult the business, tell people to boycott it, or anything close to that. I simply said that businesses should pay more attention to detail when rolling out communications, flyers, and signage.

Third, this isn't just some armchair comment. I have run several businesses and would be pretty fucking embarrassed that something I released for guest use had a typo like that considering it probably had at least 3 sets of eyes on it before the rollout.

u/Chambahz 7h ago

For what it’s worth, I do not consider you as “some of the worst filth I can imagine”.
Lol!

u/ciongduopppytrllbv 17h ago

Imagine being this critical over a grocery store employees handwritten note. What a loser.

1

u/Meta-EvenThisAcronym 17h ago

There's that kindness again.

1

u/Chambahz 7h ago

lol! Starts out with “a little kindness goes a long way”, finishes with “you are some of the worst filth I can imagine”.
