it's so stupid that stores claim they're hiring when they're not

it's so stupid but I'm aware that stores with "now hiring" signs up actually just means the chain is hiring, that doesnt mean that specific location is hiring.

Several times I have run into where it had the "now hiring" signs up but that location actually wasn't currently hiring.

but my family cannot understand this concept and is always informing me when they pass by a store with that sign up and I keep having to show them they aren't currently hiring despite what the sign says. I know they're good intentioned, but it just becomes awkward at some point.
