If I was inside the store I would assume that people seeing me would know that I have passed the smell test and am therefore not part of the problem. The person that put up the sign is hostile towards stinky people and assholes, they’ve shown no ill-intent towards anyone else by posting this.
What of the myriad of other, actually effective methods to combat the problem, over this, a completely ineffective way?
What of them? This is just doing the first step automatically. It’s the same concept as a no trespassing sign. By having it there they have already been given notice of the rules, and if they ignore it have no recourse when you escalate to kicking them out.
This makes no sense. You could kick them out the same regardless of the sign. The sign only serves the purpose I’m mentioning and I’ve not seen an argument otherwise.
By having the sign there, a certain percentage of stinky people are going to know they aren’t welcome and leave without having to be told. For those who ignore it, the employees of the store and other customers now all have a posted policy they can point to when they ask them to leave. Opposed to not having the sign and it being left open to argument.
