Talk About Unnecessary Signage
The restroom signage from Jimmy John’s restaurant raises questions about its intended message. At first glance, it may appear to encourage males to be untidy in the restroom, which conflicts with the general expectation that patrons should be tidy and clean up after themselves.
Using phrases like “sitting is girly” is offensive to women, and the depiction of “showoff” might inadvertently encourage disruptive behavior. The purpose behind the “showoff” sign is unclear and may send mixed messages to restroom users.
