They actually play that a lot. (That's a very simple word you see there, any kid in a Kindergarten can spell that)!

Knowing a little German , ( I'm half Austrian and half Italian ) , this appears to be indicating that this is a store that rents machines to sand wooden floors , lol . Anyone here know German well ? Wondering if I'm correct .

That's about right, in German we can put a whole sentence in one word, very descriptive, not like English where words have different meanings even if spelled the same

All it says (in several simple words all pushed together) is "Floor polishing machine rental". Why they do it that I, I don't know.
