"A special side job offer" sticker. "2,000 yen per hour, and you can work at home!", says this party line. (Yes, it is.)

おかげさまで is a set phrase. It means "Thanks to you" or "Your support enabled this". This store has been around for twenty years, and the store master shows his gratitude: "Thanks to you all, it's our twentieth anniversary!"

なめんなよ - a Showa revival

This is a "no publicity-right violation" poster, like "war on bootlegs".

なめんなよ means ... I don't really know, it's from the 1980s (昭和55年ごろ), very colloquial, showing strong attitude of youngsters (暴走族 - yobs on bikes, so to speak).

The rebel cats with this strong attitude, なめ猫, are from the 1980s. I don't know why. Probably they want their message to reach people in their thirties, who know the なめ猫 series very well.
