In terms of shop rules, we've posted:
1. be nice
2. be chill
3. clean up after yourself
4. don't take tools out of anyone's hands
5. keep it rated "g"

That covers most of the issues that come up, and it makes it easy for anyone to point to a rule when one gets broken.  We've referred people to certain rules in the moment, and it's worked pretty well.  People get the point quickly without feeling bad about it, and we all go back to fixing bikes.

It's true though... there's a point when there's information overload, and some people don't even see signs that are right in front of them.  Not sure what to do about that other than to keep things as concise as possible.
