Mass Confusion over “ASST”

I’m sure I’m not the only one who gets confused by the terribly ambiguous abbreviation “ASST.” I mean, all you have to do is take one look at:
ASST VEGETABLES
and
ASST DA’s
Don’t you often find yourself reading them:
Assistant Vegetables
and
Assorted DA’s
Please, sign-makers, a little clarity wouldn’t hurt.
