During a thread with Jaz in the private forum area we started going a bit off-topic about pointing out design flaws to members of staff in public for whatever reason, so I thought it would be good to make a dedicated thread!
This doesn't have to relate to graphic design, it can be anything design related!
So, have you ever publically pointed out an obvious design flaw?
Or just thought, they need to change that, it's sooo obvious?!

I was in the supermarket the other day and I actually pointed out to my other half how they could vastly improve how their shoppers find the pissing sugar better. I mean come on.
Greg said:Don't worry I'm guilty of the same thing! Found myself explaining to staff at Subway that if someone designed their bags to open down the long side with a handle that way the subs wouldn't get ruined on your way home and the handles would hold for longer, the normal ones just break too easily! I should e-mail Subway that idea, maybe I'll get a free cookie or something lol
Jazajay said:Yeah I know, I was with my dad, taking my kids to the zoo I think, and he lectured the women at the counter, while me and the kids slowly moved backwards, on how it would be better if the prices where stuck on the products or something, her face was just like yeah whatever, are you going to buy that sandwich or what?
