Weird, I read anything my eyes set upon without even thinking about it. Why wouldn't you, unless you're illiterate?

There are some levels to "without thinking about it". You miss some things. You just aren't aware when you do. Your brain will get tired at some point in the day and will adjust its capacity/willingness to get into detail, unless you're not human.
Work retail and you'll see how little people read. There can be a sign in giant huge letters when walking in the door saying "Sale things aisle 7" and they'll stop en employee right by the sign and ask where the sales things are

I worked gate security at a baseball stadium. Right next to where I stood there were two huge signs reading "No Smoking" and "No Re-entry". Guess what questions I got asked all day.

When what's written is in a language you can read, what's up with that? Reading is free, so to speak, and it enables laziness by not having to find and ask people stuff
I'm not going to defend people that are too lazy to comprehend words on a sign.
What I will say, is that it took me entirely too long to look up when I was at the grocery store. One of my first jobs was at a grocery store and it took me far too long to notice the signs.
in my experience, its easy to not notice a sign altogether. too busy looking for some(one|thing) possibly

Signs at stores are ads. Email is spam and ads. Menu is ads. Post online is ads. Street signs are ads.
Instruction, caption with answer to question and group handouts aren't ads, but I had ads fatigue from the rest of the shit you've been trying to cram down my neck, so go fuck yourselves and your written words.

What did I just read?
None of us know either.
If that's your choice of fonts, I'm sure as hell not going to read it.
