A kitchen's rear entrance politely explains what happens to anyone who walks through it.

💡 Why print that instead of just "Staff only"?
Restaurant back doors here are constant traffic — delivery riders, lost customers, neighbors cutting through — so the owner swapped the usual scolding sign for a joke threat of instant employment.vs. the US: "Employees only" turned into "congrats, you're hired."
