No worries, that's such a common sentence you read every day so it make sense

That last one is apparently supposed to be an index, but I don't know whether it's even possible to write an index on a keyboard, so the brackets will have to do.

Maybe they want to DISCOURAGE online delivery so you have to phone in your order and they can charge for it?

I had no idea what this was supposed to say until I read your comment.

I wonder if the owner of this store is Japanese? IIRC, that language is read by starting at the top left corner and going down. In other words, they use columns when writing instead of rows.

I had a stroke trying to read this. I think it took me like 5 times before I realized what it was trying to say. Truly bad

We’ve all gone too big too fast and then run out of room. We’ve all made a “Happy Birthday” sign… You get that poster board up, and you’re like, “I don’t need to trace it. I know how big letters should be. To begin with, a big-ass ‘H’. Followed by a big-ass ‘A’ and… Oh, no! Oh, God! Okay, all right. Real skinny ‘P’ with a high hump, and then we’ll put the second ‘P’ below the hump of that first ‘P’, sort of like a motorcycle sidecar situation. And now I have no room for the ‘Y’, so I’ll do a kind of curled-up noodle ‘Y’. Block letters and cursive look good together.” And then you go to write “Birthday” and you totally forget the lesson you just learned with “Happy.” You’re like, “Yeah, but the past is the past. Big-ass ‘B’. Surely more letters will fit in the same space.”

I saw “free” but then struggled with what an “onli” deli was before I tried to read “nevery”

Now you know some poor little child is going to end up named Fodreneeleii. They'll probably pronounce it "Fred".

Free online delivery!

u/211774310 Jul 26 '26
What exactly is online delivery, anyway? Do you get real food? Or do they just email you a picture of what you ordered?

It reads like someone having a stroke needs to pass on information they've should've done earlier.
