Never bothered me It didn't exactly bother me. I figured that, whatever their business was, it wasn't aimed at people like me. It seems to me, though, that it is generally a good idea for shops to have names that people can read just as it's a good idea for shops to have visible street numbers so the fire department can find them if need be. If I saw a crime being committed in front of the store, how would I report the location to the police? If at least the name were written in the Roman alphabet, I could take a stab at pronouncing it, but when the language doesn't use the Roman alphabet... The first time I ever found myself in a country that didn't use the Roman alphabet was in Greece. There was a certain level of effort required to figure out which rest room to enter. It made me conscious of the problem.
