Probably just some bored teenagers at work. Still funny though.

It's kind of like that Comcast and AOL posts. If you want money, you have to work, not for the company, but for the customer.

It's perfectly obvious: The gorilla will take your order.

Broken, but it's all going to work out ok...

...gives me time to decide between the gorilla burger, koala nuggets or rhino-kabob on the kid's picture menu. Can I get it with the endangered-species shake?

It's obvious what to do, really. You must break the glass of the middle window with the endangered species behind it, thus exposing the off-duty employees hiding below the counter.

There's nothing broken about it. That configuration will keep you occupied until someone comes back from break. :D

See, this is only broken if this is *before* you give them your money. If it's after, you gave them free money. If it's before, then it's broken.

I'd hazard a guess that both employees took breaks at the same time (broken) without realizing the contradiction in signs (broken). You should smash the display case (broken).

LOL, that's the funniest (maybe) broken signage I've ever seen! But, I don't think it's really broken, just a gag from the photographer, messing with the signs, which makes THEM broken!

...kidding!

NOT BROKEN, BUT REALLY FUNNY!

You have to bang with your head on the middle screen, signaling your worthiness to be served...

Asbestos: I've noticed pee-related posts a few times in this blog.... I wonder if it would be too much to ask that you confine these to a watersports-related blog or forum, hmmm?

Hey Dave, as a newfie, i have to ask...does the rest of the world know what a newfie is? i wonder....

Asbestos has a urine fixation...

A google search for "define:newfie" returns the following:

'"Newfie" is a colloquial term used in Canada for one who is from Newfoundland and Labrador.'

And no... I didn't know beforehand...

I really should have used the more PC term Slobbovian.

(P.S Why does TIB ask if I want to 'Remember Personal Info' if it never remembers my personal info?)

I'm the submitter of this "broken" item and I forgot to mention that this was in the San Diego Zoo. I'd like to mention that I didn't adjust the signs to cater to my picture, however, these weren't the only two service windows at the snack bar... I just thought it was funny :)
