I have seen the second one before, but it was somewhere else, and there’s more to the picture; you could tell they’d taken the 9 from another part of the picture. XD
Yes, they raised prices by .99¢. Effectively it’s just another bastard dollar store now, just like every other with the scary looking customers. I run in to buy super glue and dish soap and run for the checkout as fast as I can.
Actually, there are nine days per week. Most people don’t realize this because they fall into a trance between 11:59pm Sunday and 12:01am on Monday. There are two “secret days” which only a few of us know about.
The 99 Cent Only Stores now carry a decent selection of vegetables, including sometimes expensive organic stuff. I do avoid their fruits. Don’t hate the 99 store. If you don’t want to shop there, don’t, ok hipster? Have your parents take you with them to Bristol Farms.
There was a dry cleaner near me that had an “open 8 days a week” sign. I asked the owner about it, and she said it was because her competitors were open 70 hours per week (10 hours/day) and she was open 80 hours per week, which was “like being open one more day per week than the other guys”. It was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek and get people to ask about her hours.
Strange women lyin in ponds distributin swords is no basis 4 a system of government. Supreme exec pwr derives from mandate of masses, not some farcical aquatic ceremony.U cant expect 2 wield supreme exec pwr just cuz some watery tart threw a sword @ u says:
When I was a kid, there was a small chain of restaurants in South Florida called Royal Castle. They were famous for having signs that proclaimed “OPEN 29 HOURS A DAY.”
Of course, when I saw the 9 days a week sign, I immediately thought of the Steven Wright bit where he sees the guy locking up the convenience store. He points out the sign says the store is open 24 hours. The guy says, “Not in a ROW.”
So, we’re supposed to care about a calendar the French invented, used for a decade, and then got rid of because even they couldn’t keep a straight face while saying “Ten days a week”…
I wonder what calendar are they using?
And I complain about working 5 days a week…..!!
If you’d like to complain, I’m a great listener!
That you are, hon!!
Yes… that is a great way to get the driveway clean.
Wait – what were we talking about again?
Listening, AGATT.
…or were we?
Like the time we were standing on the Great Wall of China?
i work 6
Probably from Mars!!!
Aussie Aussie Aussie
Oi oi oi.
Someone had to.
Thanks for the pity Oi oi oi
But then the gravity pull would make all the groceries lie on the roof of the building, right?
Some times it feels like it.
maybe it depends on which doors you want to use…
Yeah, left door you can go in any time, right door you can’t go in on those certain days
9 Days a Week,they have good opening times
They’re open on days you’ve never even heard of before!
Second one is not a fail, they are just smarter and have a better sense of humor than OP.

Nope. 99 cent only stores all say this.
It feels like 9 days a week
The second is from the 99.99¢ only stores.

that is a rather amusing mental image.

oh yeah? well, what are they called, Mr. Mensa-britches?
We could tell you but then we’d have to kill you.
….over a 2 day period.

cool story, bro
Is that a shadow of a really big vocal duck? (top pic lower left)
I believe the top one is from the Sunshine Coast (QLD, Australia) and down the road from that store is a burger joint that says ‘open 25/7′
It would be in Queensland…
Nah I took it outside Wanneroo Markets in Perth

They wanted to be open 8 days a week but then the Beatles would sue. So they don’t take a day off. Poor them.
Nice Beatles reference…kudos!
The “open 9 days a week” thing looks like the inside of a Brookshire’s (or Brookshire Bros., I keep getting the two franchises mixed up).
It’s a 99 cent only store. The best store in the world!
In revolutionary France, i.e. in the years 1789~1802, the weeks had ten days, three weeks to a month, plus five or six leap days distributed throughout the year.

Wait…is that first one really open from 11AM-5AM? Those are some strange hours…
The second one is for the “99 Cents Only” chain of stores and they love using 9′s this way as humor. Not a fail.
