I’m pretty sure that’s not how you “emphasize” words.

Also, why? Just... why?

*In case you think this was just some weird prank, ALL the signs had it, and it was too well done and not funny enough to be a prank, like putting hula hoops or RedBull wings on the little crosswalk people. This looks like plain old incompetence.

This is a pet peeve of mine. I used to work at a pizza shop and the manager used quotation marks for emphasis. He also put an apostrophe on any word ending in an S. He used to advertise:

2 Large “Pizza’s” for $14.99

When we bought our house, our realtor gave us a sign with our name on it... with an apostrophe before the (plural) S. Like, Smith’s. It’s the thought that counts, I guess. I never hung up the sign.

If it’s not NY or NJ, and/or if it’s a fast-food chain, putting pizza in quotes is totally appropriate :p

Could be worse, he could have put unnecessary “thank yous” after everything. Cashier Does Not Have Combination to Safe Thank You, Caution: Wet Floor Thank You, We Will be Closed for Good Friday Thank You.

I’m starting to think that lots of people no longer know what words mean.

I get the quotes around parking. That’s like saying hey, don’t fuck here.

But around no? Do they actually mean no? Or do they actually want people to fuck there?
