Was going to tell them but from what I read, usually they don't like free advice so screw it.

You never know until you try.

Many years ago I ran across a similar situation, their walk in was fine but they also had an overly humidified cabinet of cigars, some of the ones in tubes were even growing mold. So I pointed it out to the owner. She thanked me, mentioned that because she didn't really smoke cigars (she was a pipe smoker), that it was one of her employees jobs to take care of that humidor and apparently, they weren't and she would take care of it. She also only charged me for half the cigars I tried to buy that day.
