"caveat emptor"
seems appropriate - it means "let the buyer beware"
Nah, I dont want that caveat emptor thing, I already know that one.
We get all these ppl with bad attitudes, so of course the price goes up for them.
The ppl with good attitudes get the price reduced. :p
Al :D
Now you've made me find a heap of cool latin dictionaries out there!!
Check 'em out!!

My try would be:
Pretium duco persona
(price is calculated by personality), but of course not being a student of the language, the verb in the middle is actually a noun I think.
Have fun:
Laetifico,
Morsus Evolo
:D :D :D :D
Habitus finitor indico................:cool:
Thanks Midge.
Al :D
Or you could go the pig latin route:-
" ickday eadshay etgay ippedray offway "
:D :D :D
(which I like a lot better!)
eerschay,
Pway.
:D
Ok, youll have to explain it to me. Either here, or by email if its rude. :confused:Quote:

In Italian
L'atteggiamento determina il prezzo
many people in Melbourne would understand this;
Η τοποθέτηση καθορίζει την τιμή
Latin is roughly; depending on tense (abstract)
sensus arbitrium caritas - or could start with habitus instead sensus
Thats a translation of the words but this could be meaningless to a Roman:D . There may be a compendium (phrase) which means the same thing. I'm no expert but that will translate back OK for the individual words.
This may help

:p :p
Actually I lied about the university. My siblings and I learnt off the back of a packet of Froot Loops he was given for his birthday (it was the in the 60's and sugar coated cereal was a very special treat!!). The Froot Loops logo was Toucan (bird) and the "language" was called "Toucan Talk".
There is a moral out of all this: Never place your education in the hands of a company that can't spell "Fruit", you could end up like me!!.

:D :D :D
Ever considered putting it in Australian
"Jerks pay more"

Would be ok in an American Store, but not in one of our shops!
But your point is taken!

Yup should be "Wankers Pay More"
G'day.
I just tell them "Keep talking, the meter's running." ;)
C'mon Al, where's the bloody sign??...don't keep us in suspense
Cheers
Al,
All those years I spent studying Latin at college were not entirely wasted after all :)
You could have "Comitas pretium demittit", which means "Courtesy lowers the price", as your motto.

Ok here it is, I just done it on an A4 then laminated it.
Al :)
Hmmm.. Maybe you could make up a sign of Grunt's suggestion. Keep it under the counter so you can whip it out when needed:D
Cheers
