Plural vs. Possessive

Can I just say "AARRRGGGGHHH!" It drives me INSANE to see - on billboards, advertisements, business TITLES (for GOD'S SAKE, how much are you spending on that sign, those business cards, that stationery...), email subject lines, etc - things like "Cowboy's and Angel's: [this being the business title] Floral, Gifts, Candy" or "Chili Hill's Restaurant" (who is this Chili Hill person?) or "Kid's Eat For 99 Cents!"
Now if your going to spend money - oh gee, I mean if you're (as in, "you are") going to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on advertising, maybe you'd better hire someone who is *#!@! literate. Just an idea. Admit your faults, say "I just am not very good at spelling or grammar" - and have someone else proofread!!
Please...
