What of it? The assistant manager forgot to write a verb before "eye
contact". He also forgot a period at the end of the cashiers' sign.

Workplace signs of this sort are designed to bash the basics of
consumer-retailer engagement etiquette into the almost always entirely
disinterested retail clerk. Too freqently, the attempt fails
spectacularly. They're written by managers or assistant managers, not
English majors.

To hear Garrison Keillor tell it, _most_ of them were English majors.

I can only hope you (and GK) are fooling!
