I must say, the quotation marks here are less eerie than the coercive/comforting tone of the note. Feel free to spend your meager funds here all the time. Thanks... (and thanks for the submission, Amber.)
I think that's an appropriate use of quotation marks. They probably raised prices so that they could "lower" them to more than they were prior to the price hike.
Well, prices, I suppose, could be said to be greater of lesser, whereas low (or high) could be considered a description of height. So they may be saying that the prices could be listed closer to the ground.
I do find the whole note very confusing. Was there a time when people weren't invited to come often? How high did the prices used to be, since they were so intimidating?
Ok, I understnad that this isn't a "spelling" blog - but has no one caught on to the fact that on that giant sign there is a rather large misspelled word. Hmm...figured someone would have caught that...
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

I do find it oddly comforting.
