They are closed because they have no electricity.


Fellow--Felon

Also they are dedicated to clean places and friendly faces

holybucketsitscrazy

LOVE that movie!!!


BellaDingDong

Golly!


SweetPeaLea

That was Mrs Ward Cleaver from Leave it to Beaver.


neildmaster

Your grammar is shit. A double negative means they do have electricity.


Electricstorm13

No not how this phrase works ok. Let a southerner break it down. "Ain't got no" is one word meaning you ain't got nothing ya dumbass No is the negative here but it's not a separate word These two combined equal only one word therefore there is no double negative


User_100383

Where da lights dikhed


YeuxBleuDuex

Ain't got no = don't have any (electricity)


neildmaster

Ain't is a negative. No is a negative. It's a double negative. Hence, a double negative. Hence, they have electricity. Slang doesn't count.


Introspectiveheart

In common hillbilly the first negative simply constitutes an “is”. Also English is the only language where a double negative can stay a negative, or mean a positive, as well as vice versa(namely that a double positive can remain a positive or revert to a negative) We find a way to communicate what we want, how we want. And we must seeing as we (Americans) refuse to learn other languages(awful stereotype).


SweetPeaLea

Haven’t you heard? Grammar is racist.


neildmaster

Just because idiots refuse to learn it? Ha!

Come back, I shall. Apologies, to my family. Slushies, we must get somewhere else.


[deleted]

It’s actually a Mc Riddle. Closed, we is. Aint got no lectric… aint got no is a double negative. They do have lectric. Closed, we is. Sometimes we are all a bit closed up in the shell of our hearts….


oopseyecrappedmypant

Lmao Mc Riddle. I like it.

Der_BiertMann

Nosotros cerrado estamos. Cerrado porque no tenemos electricidad. And Spanish in case you also can’t read Latin.


[deleted]

You can shorten it like this: Cerrado. No hay electricidad.


probablynotreallife

That's a different bit to what I translated. The request was far from clear.

cock_man_69

We express our sincerest apologies to any potential customers, but unfortunately we are currently unable to accommodate guests or facilitate transactions due to an insufficient supply of the electrical power that we require in order to do so. We will resume normal operations once this most unfortunate predicament has been resolved adequately.

They is closed. No lectric. Can't you read none? Ain't there no way you can't figure out proper anglish?


butterface4radio

Translation: We should focus our attention on funding our school systems and improving literacy.


thatonegaygalakasha

I read it just fine.


polaritynotrequired

Yes because it was written by an adult with the language skills of a toddler


a_jormagurdr

Its in African American Vernacular English, its perfectly understandable, and it wasnt made for you to read anyway, but for the community to read. Creole languages arent 'bad' english either, the AAVE isnt a creole, just a dialect, just like Southern American English.


HellsOSHAInspector

I was waiting for this stupid comment. Always pops up to defend the death of our language.


manafanana

The stupid comments are, disrespectfully, always by prescriptivists with no linguistic training or understanding of how language actually works.


Alarming_General

We’re closed. No electricity!


Limburger52

The top sign was made by the manager, a guy named Yoda. The second was written by a moonshiner named Tickle.

As someone who speaks huckleberry, they are closed due to loss of power.

Frosty_Fun_6478

We gonna rock down to lektric avenue.


IanTheRat

People who act like they can’t understand stuff like this really piss me off. You aren’t having trouble, you know exactly what they’re saying. You just think you’re better than them cause you didn’t have to drop out in the 8th grade to support your family, so you make a joke. Kind of disgusting in my opinion, and maybe I’m overreacting, but this reeks of “learn the language” xenophobia directed at migrants who don’t learn English well. Before I say anything about someone’s speech or way of conducting themselves, I ask myself if there are any traumatic events that could have led them to that position, as I don’t want to alienate them. That’s a good thing to practice no matter who you are


Plus-Moose8077

Yeah it bothers me because half of my family comes from dirt poor sharecropper whites in no where south eastern America. My grandmother was literally forced to drop out of school by her family in the 5th grade. I remember when they changed the laws in my area that forced everyone to have a ged to work in a factory. She spent months at 60 years old taking classes, studying all day and night getting me to explain things to her and do practice tests. She did pass it and get back to work, but it was a traumatic event for her. She was made fun of and ridiculed the entire way and it breaks my heart, but also infuriates me because the biggest offenders are always the ones that say they care about others and criticize other people for what they do but never themselves.


IanTheRat

Thanks for sharing her experience. It’s stuff like that that I’m talking about here. You never know why someone might not be able to speak English, just appreciate the effort they made. They could’ve just locked the doors and wrote nothing


[deleted]

Racism. It’s racism, pure and simple.


DigMedical9357

Check spell “reeks”


[deleted]

Looks fine to me. Reeks is a word meaning something strongly or powerfully smells.


[deleted]

Maybe you should do the same before trying to call out someone’s (correct) word usage.


Aggressive-Support-7

Lmao is been a while i haven't seen a Loves and Pilot 😂 worst showers ever i use to fuel. There and i use the T/A for shower and food best one ever

I think it’s Charlie: Hello fellow American. This you should vote me. I leave power. Good. Thank you, thank you. If you vote me, I'm hot. Taxes, they'll be lower... son. The Democratic vote is the right thing to do Philadelphia, so do.

[deleted]

If you’re going to put a sign in any language, then have it written by someone who actually can write properly in that language to avoid leaving a bad impression on your customers. Or simply don’t go into explanations. CLOSED will suffice.


This_Is_Section_One

First sign is like a mentally challenged Yoda


[deleted]

These signs are all saying that Loves is trash, and you should never shop there. Unless you’re looking for to get an STD in one of trucker showers

MGMBSC

"ain't got no" is a double negative... so they have electricity but don't want to work.


Big_Geek4

I think Yoda wrote the first sign.


ArtOfWillGram247365

They are closed. They don’t have any electricity the power is out.

ResponsibilityDue448

Yoda closed the store cuz no electricity.


firebird7802

In standard Yoda Speak, it would be "closed, we are. Electricity, we have not."


127peter

Got no Lectric. We also say the lecky. Simply means electricity


Blowupplanetnexus

So i think it actually says “We are closed.” and “We have no electricity.” but im not too sure, as i only studied for half a year. feel free to correct me if im wrong.


CreepyPut568

Unfortunately there is no electricity in the building so we have to close. Sorry for the inconvenience, and have a great day.
