Ripp off

Hi. At a door of a shop there is a man holding two notes: Ripp off shop and Honk for support. Could you please tell me the meanings? Thanks in advance.

Rather than notes , they will be placards . He is protesting that the shop-keeper has overcharged him. He has misspelt Rip-off shop , which is meant to deter potential customers from going in.

Rather than notes, they will be placards.

He is protesting that the shop-keeper has overcharged him. He has misspelt Rip-off shop, which is meant to deter potential customers from going in. Honk for support is aimed at passing motorists — he wants them to back him up by hooting their horns.
