Kudos Nothlands PAK'nSAVE

I was in Northlands PAK'nSAVE purchasing some essential supplies and noticed that the signs on the self checkout lines say "12 Items or Fewer". Only days after criticising Countdown for getting it wrong I find a literate supermarket operator. It is a bit strange because the Riccarton PAK'nSAVE has an incorrect sign on their aisles. I foolishly left my phone in the car so unfortunately I don't have a photo.

Spotted while walking through Riccarton

On Riccarton Road, the Trendz Motels are across the road from a block of flats. Now, if I was the flat owner, I'd be on the phone to five-o cos those sneaky tricksters from Trendz have pinched an apostrophe for their sign!

Countdown - shop smarter?

Not so smart when they don't know the difference between less and fewer. Just in case someone from Progressive Enterprises reads this, if you can count the individual items then the word to use is fewer.
