A Facebook friend posted this sign he found at a Popeye's restaurant. He said that he went inside and didn't see any urine. (Maybe this writer didn't mean urinary incontinence.) I think the writer intended to use the word inconvenience. Improper capitalization plagues this sign, as well. Lobby, per, drive-thru, and working should not be capitalized. "Drive Thru" should be hyphenated since the two words are working as one. Informally speaking, thru is accepted when paired with drive, as in drive-thru, but our language has not yet deteriorated to the point that "thru" can be used instead of "through" when used as an adverb.
