I call shenanigans on this picture.

That reddit post is the only source. It's in a mall. Even if those are real pieces of paper and a real picture of one of them, it would be elementary for some chode looking for internet points and lulz to stage it.

I'm curious to know the logic behind putting up three of these signs on the front of the same closed store, when you didn't have enough pieces of tape to hang them all and had to use a piece of tape from something else.

Also the "thank you for your attention on this matter" feels too on the nose

I had to scroll way too far to find someone questioning the legitimacy of this picture. I don't buy it.

I’m inclined to agree. I believe this is a parody of This but I can’t say 100% either way

It's so obvious that the funniest part has now become the outraged response!

There is a good chance of this, and internet detectives have already pulled up some evidence. I’ll see if I can find it.

There's a comment in this thread that explains it.

A lot of it is just way too out there but this part in particular is just too... I don't know. Unbelievable that it would come from any corporate entity (even today), and almost identical to satirical criticisms of capitalism.

Potecting the stability of its shareholders was prioritized and this store -and its workforce- were deemed expendable.
