Why do shops have free umbrellas by the door? -

I see it all the time. When it is raining, shops like coffee places or hotels have a little bucket or can near the door. And then when people are going to leave, they just pick one up. They don t pay or anything. Don t shops lose money this way?

ha ha have you been nicking other peoples umbrellas ?

They aren t for people to keep they are for people to use and then return when it is no longer raining. It is a way to let people know that the do care about their customers and that they can come back again

lol

That s weird, I ve never seen it, but I would totally take one.
