Business is Good

I noticed a banner hanging on the outside of a Wendy's, a fast-food hamburger restaurant for my readers in Uzbekistan, that read "Business is Good - Now Hiring".

That's a reassuring thing to read if you do aspire to work at Wendy's - business is good, the restaurant is seeing profits, a job there should be secure.

However, I began to imagine hanging that sign outside other businesses.

Can you imagine the public outcry if that banner was hanging outside an oil refinery? Why aren't funeral homes that proud of their economic success?

Then again, it may have more to do with the type of business that is willing to hang a banner on the outside of its building.
