What did this sign mean?

At a sheer guess, I would say it might be meant to convey “We’re not in your fight, whoever you are. Leave us out of it.”

If so, it probably won’t do them any good. A rampaging mob armed with torches and pitchforks is not going to stop and read the signs or figure out what they mean.

Maybe they don’t sell submarine sandwiches?

~ “we are idiots please don’t shop here.”

I think the message is “We are not veterans.” The real message could really be one of several things. Take your pick.

I’m actually wondering if they meant citizens and it was an anti-immigrant message.

It means they don’t employ felons. I think.

@raum, if you go back and ask, I hope you report it here.

Or if “Citizens”,maybe recent immigrants who are trying to avoid damage to their property.

“This business is run by civilians.
As opposed to those that are run by reptilians.”

It means that no military or police personnel work there.
