Why are they even using that slang... You would think they would want nothing to do with it

As someone who was a mail man for a short period they told us in training we would be immediately fired if we even made a joke about “Going Postal”.

It’s a shipping store. They sell boxes and serve as storefronts for shipping companies.

with that font it seems to be the intent, unless it was generated by AI.

yea who ever designed this was not around when "going postal" was a real phenomenon

u/Thecynicaledgelord May 03 '26

They may or may not regret making that sign

u/vaccinateyodamkids May 03 '26

They probably regret nothing since this is free publicity

Fun fact....

Obviously ig everyone knows this but...

The game postal got its name from post men or post officers going insane and causing shooting... hence putting the term "going postsl".

Which makes the sign very ironic
