Not uncommon for the station with employees wearing street clothes to also be lax with the CC Apps. Some stations really seem to want to do well with their scores, while others couldn't care less. Having said that, if this is the shop I am thinking of, then the MSC encourages you to ask the attendant about the CC Apps and other item at the end. You're free to then report them as not being visible if you want, if they had to remove a bunch of things blocking their view.
Most store owners care to the point of wanting to at least pass. I've also have had one tell me he doesn't care and his station will just become something else if needs too. (A year later that is now an unbranded station and a rust pit, so it didn't go according to his plan).
