Some "CLOSE" signs. Does that mean they're "not open"? or just simply "closer to something else"? I personally found these signs from different places. Filipinos are fond in using these "close" signs. In smaller "sari-sari" (variety) stores, the typical sign you'll see is this: "Sorry, we're close". If you let an American read that phrase, he'll never understand it for sure. He'll think that the store owner is "sorry because he's close to something else". And even i myself don't know what. Kidding.
"Close" sign at Rika Drugstore, Gusa
Another one found at Chowking Gaisano
The second photo shows a fastfood in Cagayan de Oro with their "close" sign. This is a big establishment and hires an educated supervisor or manager yet they don't even know the right word to use. Why do they ever forget the "D"? Because of lack of space of the board?
