Hat tip to Z, our correspondent in the Midwest, who spotted this at a friendly neighborhood Sunshine Foods:

The intrepid Z writes, “I asked the cashier why the hanging signs didn’t match up with the cashier lights. He said they used to, but the new manager wanted the lighted posts to correspond with the ‘extension numbers’ at the registers. Since the main office is extension 1, the registers start with 2 and the hanging signs have not been changed to match. Clue to manager: signage is supposed to be for customer’s convenience.”
Why doesn’t the new manager change the phone extentions to match the register numbers? Guess the office wouldn’t be #1 anymore.

Even so, shouldn’t that mean that register 1 would be extension 2, and so on? The signs don’t match those numbers either!
