I don't really know what this sign means, I assume it really means they reserve the right NOT to serve anyone. But that's not what they said, is it? Or MAYBE it's implied by the quotation marks. Thanks, Seth.
I think "Anyone" is a band — a band whose members tip very well, you see. So all the restaurants in the area want to serve them. But this band is an affable bunch, and, wanting to avoid tensions among competing restaurants, they take reservations for who serves them. This sign is just bragging.
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.

Okay Matthew, that took a bit of creativity.
Well, they reserved the right. They apparently don't any more. Maybe they were too confused by the wording and gave up.
If they reserved it, then nobody else can use it.
I guess Colin's explanation covers all those who want to reserve the right NOT to serve....
