I can’t even call this an apostrophe error; it’s a word error — assistant’s for assistance. What’s almost more unbelievable is that whoever made this sign thought the apostrophe was the only punctuation needed.

Ironically, that apostrophe was the only piece of punctuation in the whole thing, other than the decimal in the price.

I don’t think this should be called abuse, so much as an all-out assault on the English language.
