big neonsign at the door at eyeheight telling people when the store opens, 1 out of 6 people looks at it the rest doesnt even see it, one once was even mad and blew out the doorglass with a kick.

This sounds like real-world banner blindness. Almost all neon signs are ads or usless bling-bling to catch your attention. It’s no wonder people don’t look at them anymore.

registers, big neon signs to say "hey douchenozzle, next one this is closed)

This is just bad design. Almost comically, your sign shouts, “Look at me, there’s nothing to see here”. You’re drawing attention away from where people should go. Of course this isn’t going to work.

Whoever thought advertising a closed register was a good idea needs to have their idea generator checked.

Is it next to the 30 big neon signs advertising 4% off expired yoghurt? I must've missed it while I was looking at literally anything else.
Is that sign next to the other shitty advertisements trying to get me to buy an overpriced candy bar before I'm out the door? Sucks, I'm not reading any of them. Deal with it.
Your store is literally designed to make people get lost and lose track of time. You're welcome to go fuck yourself and take your annoyance out on your corporate overlords instead of the regular people just trying to find the onions.
