When to give up

I popped into Tesco the other day to pick up a few things for dinner, and was passing the milk section when I spotted a sign which read 'Milk in isle 3'. As I didn't have a black marker on me I decided to risk the derision of a nearby group of teen shelf stackers by pointing out the error to them and saying 'aisle begins with an A'. This caused a few grunts and looks all round, but they seemed to have got the message.

I was passing the same store the other day and decided to check in on the sign. From afar I could see it had been reprinted, but on close inspection discovered that it now read 'Milk in Asle 3'.

When do you give in and admit defeat?

Go on. Tell them it begins with an 'a' and an 'i' and see what they make of it. Aile perhaps?
