The note posted on the shop's window read, "I am overwhelmed by the extreme heat, I will not work throughout the summer. See you in September."

"WE WON'T BE SURPRISED IF OTHERS DO THE SAME"
Shopkeeper Alirıza Özsöz, 53, who said his neighbor hung a note and went on vacation, stated, "My neighbor is right, it is very hot. It is really impossible to walk on the road, you can't stop. Our brains are about to fry from the heat, and I see my neighbor as justified. We are encountering something like this for the first time. It has become a bit funny, but the shop is really closed. It attracts a lot of attention, and we won't be surprised if others do the same soon," he said.
