Closed To Serve You Better.

On of my pet peeves is businesses that claim to be closed in order to ‘serve you better.’ Bank of America used to have a branch one block from my house. They closed it and put a sign on the door that said: ‘In order to serve you better, this branch is now permanently closed.’ Some businesses also use this line in their voice mail messages. I recently called a hardware store here in Berkeley on Sunday and got a recorded message that said ‘In order to serve you better, we are now closed.’ Why do so many businesses use this infuriating, stupid line!?
