Things that got old a while ago

A couple of things I've noticed that make me curious if the proprietors of the proceeding properties are even paying attention to their businesses:

-My local New York Sports Club has had a sign advertising one-day sales outside since the summer. At some point, it either becomes an irritating gimmick, or it is just a sale all the damn time.

-A steak restaurant near where I live still sets up outdoor dining - complete with silverware, chairs, and table mats - even though it's been quite some time since I'd call it warm enough to eat outside. They do have lamp-like burners that are meant to generate some heat, but it hasn't seemed to convince anyone to eat outside, at least from what I can tell.
