What’s wrong with this picture?

Well, really, what do these two pix have in common…that’s wrong?

You guessed it: the great big clock. You don’t really want to forcibly remind your browsers that time flies…do you?

We thank Bon Bon Boutique & another consignment shop for showing us their shops.

    Our grocery store, Publix, has NO clock anywhere. They don’t want you to realize how long you’ve been there… if you’re like me, reading the labels.

    Not only do the casinos in Las Vegas have no clocks, but they have no windows either, both of which, along with a free flowing supply of alcohol, are engineered to create a timeless experience.

    Our selection of clothes and accessories seem to entrance our customers. Several times we have heard customers saying out loud, “I should be grocery shopping, I should be grocery shopping!” But somehow they keep shopping for clothes.
