I'm sure they intended something completely different when they affixed these stickers to the doors (though I can hardly imagine anyone handing out leaflets for the local pizzeria's 99-cent special in front of the bathrooms of a major department store), but you'd think someone might have pointed out to the store's Manager that there might be a potential double entendre at play here. What, was there a local George Michael sighting? At least - at the stickers' behest - the hordes have ceased attempting to "entice or incite to evil" in the bathroom with last season's fashions and end of run footwear. 'End of run' footwear...yup, that's rich.

Well, as the slogan goes, everyone loves a Winner.
