Billboard Coverage

Controversial billboards are going up in Springfield, Missouri urging people to get back to work.



people are frustrated and there's nothing that we can do brad park is general manager of greek corner screen printing and embroidery and like many businesses around town, he's looking for employees. So he and a handful of other businesses who prefer to remain anonymous, decided to pay for billboards at several locations around town with a rather sarcastic sense of humor approach. We don't know where people are, obviously they're not at work, so apparently they're at home. So that's where we came up with, get off your butt, get a job and the apply anywhere is everyone is looking for employees. You can't drive a block through a commercial district without someone having a sign. Now, hiring their billboards from minimum wage jobs to executive jobs, no one can find anybody to work. The lack of workforce is a major problem in all sectors and it's affecting the supply chain for all kinds of goods and services, consumers are frustrated because when you go to a restaurant, you don't wanna have to wait an hour for your food. There are many theories as to why the workforce hasn't returned after the pandemic sent people home parks theory, It's our society, we're just not teaching our kids to work the billboard company that put up the ad has already been getting feedback. He said, we typically don't get people calling in about billboards, but someone called and said, I don't know who paid for the billboard, but that's awesome. But certainly there will also be a lot of people who are offended by the message parks. Answer to them. So many people that had their feelings on their sleeves. It's get over it. I mean, it's time to grow up. No idea, because they're getting a lot of free public.

A jeweler and a Chick-fil-A are engaged in a friendly war of words.

well during, during the pandemic, we installed a drive through so that people could safely shop with us. And uh, I was just, uh, I thought, well, I'll take a little jab and just like that. The billboard battle began owner Jeff Dennis declaring a sign war with this caption outside of his jewelry store and a message on facebook for his longtime friend and garden dale chick fil a owner, Mike Holmes, thanks. They're always covered up and do a great job. But I thought, you know, our drive thru moves faster than their drive through. So that's what are first sign was. And then we decided to retaliate a couple of days later, uh, with the overflow parking located at Jeff Dennis and then just kind of went from there and for more than a week now the unlikely rivals are getting even more creative. Then I woke up to cows and eat more chicken in front of my uh, law on the other day and my sign said, gold nuggets are better than chicken nuggets. And today I countered back with a sign in their yard. Both say it's a fun and simple way to make people smile and hopefully bring in some new business. They need something to be able to wake up and laugh about, uh, something to bring joy to them, something fun to do something off topic of everything that's been so controversial in the last year and give, give folks something to smile about. As for how long this phony feud will go on. Well, the Milos down the street is now getting in on the action. Bring it. I mean, come on, I've got an L. E. D. Sign. You gotta put yours up with the polls. So I'm ready. So they're, they're both on mining, uh, Jeff's radar right now. Let's bring it. I can keep up with the best of them.
