AT OWNER'S RISK

In Nigeria, almost every business (irrespective of size) has a small sign outside their parking lot that reads - cars are parked at their own risk!

If you ask me, i think this is a reflection of stupidity and sheer foolishness on the part of the business owner/operator.
It is high time customers question such signs. Such signs means that whatever happens to your car in their premises is not their business. Must everybody hop an Okada to your organization? A customer whose car is not safe at your office complex shouldn't feel safe with you. Is it a crime to have a car?

I think these are the days when business owners should give clients some level of security doing business with them. Such languages like "cars are parked at owner's risk..." should be blotted from our business dictionary. If a company cannot have mercenaries that will care or look after clients vehicles, then such a company doesn't mean well for her customers.

It is even more disappointing when one sees these sign at bank locations, it is appalling and disgraceful...
If you need my money, why can't you watch my back?

It is high time we reviewed our business terms and policies.

I want to see you at the top, where you truly belong.
You must happen!
