Question by I ♥ Chocolate: Would it be rude if I posted this sign in the front door of my business?
Where our offices is located now, there used to be a Beauty School, and we’ve been here for 2 yrs now, and people keep walking in and asking what happend to the beauty school? if we know where they moved to and so forth. We don’t know, and don’t care. Would it be rude if I posted a sign that said “NO, WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPEND TO THE BEAUTY SCHOOL, AND DON’T KNOW WHERE THEY MOVED TOO. AND NO, THIS IS NOT A DOCTOR’S/DENTIST OFFICE!”
Well we don’t have people coming in, because we do not sell anything, it’s just an office. The only people that come and go is my employees.
I also tried closing and locking the doors, so they wont come in and ask. But they keep knocking the door, and shouting “Hello!! open the door, I want to enroll!!” Ugghhh soo annoying!
No I have a BIG sign w/ my business name, the office space was remodeled.

That would be rude. You just gotta deal.
Instead maybe talk with higher-ups about installing more prominent signage for your company (like right on the entry door?).

Unique Marietta, GA Dentist Office, Also A Fine Art Gallery
It isn’t very often that a Marietta, GA dentist office is also a fine art gallery. Drs. Kirk Kimmerling and Alex Krempa with great enthusiasm are supporting the local artists in the Marietta and Atlanta, GA. area. Their vision is simple; a unique dental office for those visiting the dentist. The gallery began about four years ago when Verde Pointe Dental Associates opened a new office across the parking lot, featuring five accomplished artists.
Angela Ocheltree, a native of Cobb County is a proficient sculptor, photographer and portrait painter. She has the talent to immortalize actual people in bronze and does so at request. Drs. Kimmerling and Krempa feature one of her sculptures in a nook made just for the exquisite piece. As an accomplished interior designer, she was commissioned to design the interior of Verde Pointe Dental Office, and has received breath-taking reviews. “Angela made our office the most stunning dental office I have ever seen. She has an eye for detail and color,” says Dr. Kimmerling. Patients comment on its beauty often.
Dennis Campay from Atlanta, GA. is a painter with an architectural flair. He has many paintings throughout Verde Pointe Dental Office, and has one particular piece commissioned by Dr. Kimmerling, featuring an old-time dental chair. His works are unique, contemporary easily identifiable. Campay began with glossy renderings of buildings, skyscrapers and storefronts, and evolved with story-telling strengths. He has been featured in many weekly magazines and has sold his work to corporations, universities, and serious art collectors. His work is featured in the Lagerquist Gallery in Atlanta, JSL Fine Arts Gallery in San Francisco and Sellers Gallery in Jacksonville, Florida. Loved and respected in the south, he is making his mark in other parts of the world.
Michaela Linda Sotilla, a fine artist hailing from Germany features works in many mediums, styles and subject matter. After graduating with honors from the Art institute of Atlanta, she has displayed works in prominent galleries, universities and corporations. Linda’s art has a distinct quality featuring the outdoors, the streets of Atlanta, people, music and abstracts. She calls much of her work a “natural state of being.” Linda’s work is a fine addition to the office.
Denard Stallings is a versatile artist. He paints on many different subject matters, but has a real flair for the music. Using a variety of mediums, he paints realistic portraits and infuses his passion for music with strikingly beautiful instruments. He has strong detail in his paintings giving rise to much conversation of his work from those that see it. Denard Stallings’ work is available through Vinings Gallery in Smyrna, GA.
Elizabeth Chapman is an artist featuring abstract works at Verde Pointe using mixed medias and diverse materials on canvas. Her pieces are intricate in detail, as she has the ability to blend colors with sophistication. She has been written up by the Metropolitan Museum of Art New York, and features her work at the 463 Art Gallery in Acworth, GA.
It would be the great pleasure of Drs. Kirk Kimmerling and Alex Krempa to share these fine works of art with patients. Feel free to request a tour, information on the artists, or a dental appointment amidst the fabulous works. The unique Marietta, GA dentist office welcomes new patients.

It wouldn’t be rude but noone would bother to read it. Post it if it makes you feel better.
I would post it!
I don’t know if it would be rude or not but don’t be surprised if it doesn’t help at all. I used to work with the public and was amazed that no one ever read the signs.
They’ll stop asking eventually anyways. That’ll just decrease your business.
Some people get confused, for example, some people like hamburgers better than hotdogs. And some people put pickles on their hamburgers, but not me. But I do like some relish on my hotdog, and maybe some mustard and even a little bit of onion. But no relish is EVER GOING TO BE ALLOWED ON MY HAMBURGER!!! I don’t even want pickle slices, or EVEN A PICKLE ON THE SIDE!!!
No,
it’s informative.
funnily informative.
Is there a way you could find out where they moved? If so, why not do that and post a sign with their new address outside? I would NOT post the sign you described.
put a message saying the beauty school moved to an address of someone you dont like.
I don’t think people would actually see the sign, no matter how big or prominent it is. That’s just human nature.
If I did see such a sign, I would think that your business is being rude.
The questions will eventually stop. For now, how about just practicing a bit of patience and kindness.
why dont u find out where the school went and post the address instead
i’d post it if you didn’t rely on customers who walk into your building on a daily basis.(but rater deal with them over the phone) but if you have a heavy flow of customers that come in and out, don’t post it
It’s not rude to post a sign about this, but the particular language you’ve chosen does come across as very rude and impatient, especially with the capital letters and exclamation points – you might as well add that they can go f*** themselves.
Ask the building management/landlord if they have a forwarding address for the beauty school, or see if you can get the name of the school and google it to find their new location. Then post that – “XYZ Beauty School has moved to 123 Main Street, Anytown, ST 12345.” It will save you having to answer a lot of questions. Make a little effort now to save yourself a lot of annoyance in the future.
If you still can’t find out where they are, just post: “Please note that the XYA Beauty School has moved without a forwarding address. Also, there is no medical office at this location. Thank you.” At the bottom of the sign you can also post “No Soliciting” just for good measure.
Not at all. You have work to at your office. Your not responsible to tell people where the other businesses are.
nope, it wouldn’t be rude, it would be very funny, lol
in Russia, in Moscow (I think) there was a sign that said “no, it’s not a tourism agency
(and at the bottom) yes, we’re often asked about it”
It wouldn’t be rude, but it wouldn’t be professional either.
People who are interested in your business may be turned off by the lack of professionalism expressed in that sign, especially with the spelling and grammatical errors.
You could post something, maybe not quite so blunt. Of course, it doesn’t matter WHAT you post, there’s always gonna be the idiot who will walk RIGHT PAST the sign and ask the same stupid questions.
In my opinion that would be a little rude, but you could post a sign that simply says “Beauty School has moved, address unknown.” And I would put it on the door of the former school. Though it has been my experience that most people don’t read signs of any kind.
I hope that helps.
I don’t know what kind of business you are in. But if I approached your door to do business with you and saw a sign like that on the door, I would go someplace else. You really should work on your people skills.
I can tell you from experience that you can post that sign as big and as loud as you want and you will STILL get people comin in the door to ask you “where the beauty scool?” is.
Noone will read the sign. Or they’ll read it and ask you anyway.
Just deal with it and answer them politely.
The people will slowly decline in numbers.
Are there signs still up for the beauty school? I’d hope not after two years!
Why not just put up a polite sign? It’s not the same people coming over and over again, so there’s no reason to be frustrated with them. Just put up a sign that says:
“Beauty school and doctor/dentist office closed/moved (addresses unknown).”
No… This is my thing… (2 dozen…. dozen NO… dozen Care)
dozen – as in does not
I would not put up any signs referencing the former business. Instead, identify your company name or business on the door and just deal with the illiterate people who come in and ask anyway.
People do NOT pay attention to signs! If they did, they would see the sign announcing what your business currently is!
If you do put up a sign word it more like this: “The beauty school that was here has moved and we do not know where they moved to. This is now Company X. Thank you!”
You have been patient and polite long enough, unfortunately whomever patronizes the former and/or current businesses near you are not very smart, so you will have to speak the language of BLUNT. I vote for the sign, it shouldn’t take them long to get a clue.
Put up a sign that says something like No Admittance, Authorized Personnel Only… All others please use side door.
I was a traveling salesman (of sorts) for a while and I used to find factories and places that never had walk-in customers would do that all the time when there was NO side door. I always thought it was funny and creative.
