Enjoying your blog enormously.
As someone that used to suffer from disorganised twats constantly asking for change (which the bank charges you for) thinking that they had a god given right to it. I think I know where they are coming from.

This notice is in the tradition of pub classics such as:
"Please don't ask for credit as a refusal (or, alternatively, 'a punch in the nose') sometimes offends."

Not forgetting the all-time classic: "We only give credit to customers aged over 80 accompanied by both parents."
The long winter nights must just fly by as they dream up ever more witty notices for our entertainment.
