What does pues ya sabe mean?

ExpressionColoquial

well, now you know — sort it out yourself

Closes a conversation by handing the problem back to you. Literally 'now you have the information'; in practice, 'sort yourself out'. Said without malice, which is what makes it so disarming. With tú it is pues ya sabes.

—Está cerrado los jueves. —Pues ya sabe.
The door closed, politely.
