back when i worked the box office at a movie theatre, we had the movies playing and their start times on signs posted above our heads but every single customer would ask the same thing, "what time is the next showing for such and such?" my favourite thing to do would be to point above my head and say, " i have visual aids!" it usually got a sheepish chuckle and we would both silently let their faux pas go because everyone knew they still would never read signs anyway.

i love that you know that old protest song, btw. it's good you lovely young people know the classics. 😎

Asking a question while standing by a sign that’s answering the question has always been my favorite customer interaction.
