What were they thinking? It’s gaudy, ugly, out of place. It’s… brilliant.
I see their point. Had this been just another small place to refuel, we would pass it by without much thought, only stopping if we needed to refill, but it’s gaudy red and white would attract the curious, particularly families.
I can imagine passing families being halted by children insisting on having the car refilled by the teapot. Curious eyes would be peeking inside to see what fairy tale characters might lurk within.
It’s far better to be noticed as gaudy than not to be noticed at all.
