  1. Zurack says:

    Welcome to HELL! We hope you enjoy your stay here!

  2. falconheimer says:

    do you guys offer life insurance?

  3. mugen89 says:

    Maybe they’re hiring someone to clean up their store. :s

    • Samantha says:

      Haha, there is one near us and I think that they are just hiring for the holidays. My husband looked up when they are going to close officially and I think it was January. They are selling everything in there. And I mean ev-uh-ree-thing. They have the little beds, shelves, etc for sale. There was a woman riding around in a wheel chair with a big ole FOR SALE sticker on it.

  4. EGG says:

    And this is how we will handle unemployment!

  5. somebody says:

    What do people mean there is no opportunity to find employment in a recession?

  6. Wormulon says:

    ALRIGHT!”!!! now I can tick “yes” to the question “Have you looked for work, recently been employed or attended any interviews since unemployment?” on my Social Welfare forms.

    Woo hoo! Free money

  7. Meph says:

    When life gives you Lehmans…

  8. thepowerofblue says:

    The sad thing is, the Bush Administration would totally count this as job growth.

  9. Max says:

    n00bs. The old shop closes and a new one is opening in the house of the old shop.
    Funny, anyways.

  10. Blue2thFairy says:

    Where is Dragon? I would like to comforter some more

  11. Thepook says:

    Hopefully they won’t shortsheet the employees. >.>;

  12. lolx00rz says:

    This must be the Linens ‘N Things in Montgomery County, PA, they have the same two signs in their windows.

    • Anonymous says:

      LNT is going out of business all over North America. The states went bankrupt, and now the canadian’s are going out of business too. So the signs could basically be anywhere.

    • Captain Oblivious says:

      Different sign, same idea at the Austin – Arboretum store. I took that same picture, like, two weeks ago, and forgot to submit it.

      Besides, what are they going to pay their new hires, Shamwow! an hour?

  13. Anonymous says:

    They’re hiring because they need more people to handle all the customers with the going out of business sale. Plus Christmas is always busy. So not really that much of a fail.

    • Anonymous says:

      Also, because its going out of business, people are leaving the store and LNT needs temporary people to fill in for all the people going and getting new jobs.

  14. teacher says:

    Teacher sez -> this fail fails.

    L&T is just moving in to the place going out of business.

  15. Mookie says:

    Driven out of business b/c employees are always on failblog.

  16. amethyst says:

    Mervyn’s was showing a similar sign out front, and they ARE going out of business. Major irony.

  17. Jenni says:

    >< dude, talk about bad timing.
    lol

  18. tiff says:

    oh, boo. i sent that picture in, but it didn’t work… well, it wasn’t exactly the best shot… idk…

  19. Mookie says:

    Well, someone has to sweep up and turn out the lights.

  20. Blue2thFairy says:

    My comments are disappearing faster that the California coastline.

  21. Lee says:

    Where do you see yourself after another 3 years? Sorry, months…

  22. ParadeDC says:

    This is for the person that submitted this if they see it. Was this taken in Overland Park, KS?

  23. Lindsey says:

    This is sadly the truth. I used to work there, and still talk to my coworkers a lot. When the unemployment plan came out, many were not covered, mostly the new hires. So many new hires left, and left spaces. Then there are your veterans that are now looking for new jobs, find them, and must leave. Many of the stores are under-staffed. My old store was recruiting people who had previously quit to work for the last few months remaining, they are getting that desperate.

  24. Stevem says:

    Well, here is a humor FAIL…

    The terminally ill can still apply for short term jobs

  25. Kat says:

    Hahaha, I work there now. And they are hiring because everyone is quitting.

  26. doctorpeppor says:

    It’s places like this you go to when the unemployment agency is all over your case.

  27. aj says:

    this is also in Durham, NC
    kind of ridic.

  28. Lynz says:

    HAH! Dammit! someone beat me to it!!! There is that exact sign right next to where i used to work!! dammit!!!

  29. FartOnMyHandWipeItOnYou says:

    Woop Woop

  30. Cloral says:

    Probably still better than getting a job as one of those ’sign twirlers’ I see all over town nowadays. Sad thing is, with the number of stores that have closed recently, that’s probably all the work there is for these folks.

  31. Puri says:

    omg linens n things hire people to stand outside with signs on sticks that they cant just stick in the frickin ground for free

    • loey says:

      It’s against the law; sticking a sign in the ground can get you a fine. The sign-holders are just standing around, however, which isn’t against any laws except possibly loitering, and they can just move along if the cops ask them too.

  32. pew pew says:

    The Mervyn’s near my house had signs like that. They had the the big “going out of business” “store closing” sales blowout and then when you got to the door there was a sign “Now hiring.” I thought it was strange, but I think it was for other Mervyn’s stores.

    • lissliss says:

      no, all of the mervyn’s stores are going out of business but they’re still hiring. one of my friend’s got a job there and when i found out, i was like, “aren’t they closing though?” and she said that her job was only gonna be for a couple weeks… dang.

  33. Char says:

    I think i saw this one! LOL I went to the Mall in my state just a bit ago and noticed it LOL.

  34. STEVER says:

    I totally saw this one in Coquitlam, BC last night! WTF, eh.

  35. Skeeter says:

    That’s happening around here too, in Appleton, WI.

  36. Seedlet says:

    ..Where was this pic taken? ‘Cause We have one that’s going out of business.. and was hiring..

  37. bleh says:

    grr…

    this could be a place going out of business and the place thats going to open after it goes outta buissness is already highering….so failblog fails in this case imo…

  38. This is NOT a fail….. I’ve worked for a store that was going out of business & you actually DO need more help because it gets CRAZY BUSY as the final close day draws near.

  39. chicnoir says:

    LOLROF at this one. SMH why didn’t the manager catch this one.

  40. Aquarius47 says:

    Short-term employment WIN!

  41. Jacob Stewart says:

    Sanford, FL

  42. n dizzle says:

    this only makes sense to me because my brother worked for them until their closing- they were going out of business so all of their employees quit.. so they had to hire temporary employees to finish up.

  43. John says:

    Anyone happen to notice that the window isn’t even for linens and things, but yankee candle?

  44. lissliss says:

    actually the window says “yankee candle” and other stuff like “rubbermaid” because those are some of the brands that linens n things sold…
    i miss our linens n things. :( oh well.. that’s why we have bed bath and beyond haha.

  45. sdsdsd1249 says:

    may i work there?

  46. Luna says:

    well if you look closely you can see that the out of business store is yankee candles. and that line and things is hiring.

  47. Ashleigh H. says:

    This is at the Frandor Mall. I’m pretty sure I saw that same sign when I was Christmas Shopping.

  48. AWWang says:

    Oh wow, so we can get a job at a defunct retailer…

  49. Observant says:

    This is no fail.. I don’t have the time to read through everyone’s comments.. but did no one notice that the name in the window is NOT Linen’s n Things.. Hence One business is going out of business.. and as Linen’s n Things will be opening on the same location.. they might want employees..

  50. PigHam says:

    I think that’s a common tactic used by that company (sort of like they did in Zohan). Ham. There’s a Linen’s n Things in my town that’s been going out of business for like 6 months now. And I went in there to see if there were any good deals, ham, and the prices were outrageous! There was a hamming metal trash can for $160!!! And it wasn’t like special or anything, just a little metal kitchen trash can. No wonder they’re all going out of business!

  51. DannyDee23 says:

    is that the linens and things from watertown, MA?

  52. Adrienne says:

    OMG! That’s exactly what happened to me! I had an interview there, then a week later they were going out of business!

  53. Adrienne says:

    I was just reading through some people’s comments. At least where I’m at, Linens ‘n Things went out of business, and Yankee Candle is still around

  54. Jkreisle says:

    OMG thats from terra losa in edmonton, i was totally gonna post this too!

  55. Cat says:

    I think It meant whatever was there was going out and Linens N Things was going in and they were hiring for when they went in lol still funny though. A hot dog place near me went out so they had the closed sign up but it said now hiring for Charleys Grilled Subs (that was my third real job)

  56. Hibo says:

    this looks like Fresno, CA Riverpark Shopping Center just because in the mirror you can see other stores and it looks like Riverpark
