Our Apologies

Our most sincere apologies go out to the shoppers of Burlington's Walmart today.

We are very sorry that we had to close one of the four exits today while we hydro-excavated a five meter deep hole to locate some utilities.

Yes, you guessed correctly, we did this to specifically inconvenience you personally.

It was our evil plan all along to make you late returning from shopping on your lunch hour.

You caught us, and we are indeed red faced.

It was also part of the plan to thwart those of you who use that parking lot as your own personal shortcut around that very, very busy intersection.

How could we?

Yes, you were right, it would have been much better if we let you, and only you (because you're special to us) around the 10 tonne truck.

We realize it would have been much more convenient and less time consuming if we let you have a head on collision or drive your shiny BMW into our hole.

Again, we are truly sorry.

What were we thinking?

Also,

Let me take this opportunity to apologize in advance to those of you that hold a 'No Left Turn Exemption Permit'. We know that the signs and specially designed islands weren't meant for you.

Early next spring, there will be barriers erected preventing you from making illegal (not for you, you have an exemption) left turns into or out of Timmy's on Burloak Drive. You will have to suffer the indignity of driving an extra 300 meters to enter and exit on Mainway like the rest of us unprivileged people.

We are truly sorry for your impending troubles.

If you haven't renewed your No Left Turn Exemption Permit, don't.

If you have, please return to place of purchase for a full refund.

I know, we are idiots.

Or so we've heard.

Many times.
