    This cafe

    A cafe called Sutton Snax's

    I mean I try not to be a dick about spelling and grammar and stuff these days, but come on!

      I feel this way when people reference decades like, “it was acceptable in the 80’s”.

      If anything, the apostrophe should be in front to denote the year being truncated: '80s

      It could be owned by an entity called Sutton Snax. That probably isn’t what they’re going for, but it could be read that way.

      Now, x-apostrophe might be (more?) correct in that instance but it’s far more forgivable than any interpretation as a plural.
