     I can always see the two words "早点" on the signboard when walking on the street, reminding people not to be
     late (or "come a bit early").
B: 那不是提醒上班的人不要迟到，那是卖早饭的。    
     Nà bú shì tíxĭng shàngbān de rén bú yào chídào, nà shì mài zǎofàn de.

Analysis
早点(zăodiăn) in Chinese has two meanings. One refers to breakfast and the other means "come early." 早(zăo) means early and 点(diăn) means o'clock. In this conversation, the 早点(zăodiăn) which "A" sees on signs simply means "breakfast," but "A" misunderstands and thinks it means "come a bit early." Usually, telling someone to "come a bit early" is expressed orally, while the words displayed on signs refers to "breakfast."
