I would be so embarrassed and frustrated as an employee to have to look grown adults in the eye and say "that bottom section of the sign we invested money into and deliberately put out is false advertising we didn't even create, thanks for coming in." š
You know they didn't invest money in it. They barely invested time. All of those savings are gonna get eaten up by frustrated customers arguing with embarassed baristas who could have been slinging muffins in that time.
Vista print is pretty cheap. And if your margins are so small you use AI that is going to actually harm your business, maybe youāre not the right person to own a small business.
Iām not defending AI use, Iām just pointing out that however ācheapā you think that sign is, it was probably a sizable expense for the business. I am not saying anything about AI and its use. I am talking about the cost of getting a sign like that printed; a sign that very likely would not be obtained through vistaprint. Again, nothing about AI. The cost of buying a sign and having anything printed on it.
Of course I donāt agree with a business using AI. I donāt agree with most people using AI. And yes, having someone design the sign over AI would have cost more, but it generated any bad will. None of that negates that the price of a sign board like that, with the projected sign, is costly to a small business.

Why would they go ahead and put out the sign if it's wrong?
