Maybe Monday - To stop or not to stop or maybe just roll

This is not a test, this is just a funny story from yesterday while I was having lunch with my hubby.  I thought of taking two photos and see if you recognize these signs.  We could not help but laugh because there was only one car out of 12 that actually did what the sign says.  It was good that there were no other cars coming from a different direction.  It was also good that this was in a shopping plaza and we don't think a police patrol will be hanging around to give tickets for rolling stop.  But just say he was there, then he could have given 11 citations in a matter of 15 minutes.  I guess these drivers thing or believe that just because it's in a shopping plaza that it's not a requirement to do a full stop.  Maybe they actually drive that way so it's all the same whether they are on regular street or any other place where there's that sign.  It's not that the sign was covered by trees or other signs.  What is even funnier is that this was the second time we have sat outdoors for lunch at the same spot and we have seen exactly the same scenario.  My usual comment: "and they have a driver's license".
As you can see, this is very clear and no obstruction.
I believe they have repainted this sign so it's more visible.
