I worked at a game store for years (the kind that sells Pokemon cards and board games) and we always had some customers who were nightmares. If you’ve worked retail you know what I mean, and if you’ve worked retail at a kid focused store you know even more. It wasn’t the kid’s fault. Kids are just kids, and especially when you give them an environment like a game or toy store that’s full of stuff they like they are of course going to be excited and enthusiastic. So excited that they puke or pee all over everything. So excited that they run around screaming. So excited that they stuff everything they can into their pants. You can’t blame the kids for that, but as an employee it can be a LOT to deal with. Especially when parents will often dump their kids (sometimes as young as 4 or 5) in you store for hours at a time while they’re off doing who knows what.
You can’t blame the kids, but you can complain about them a LOT later on when they’re not around.
I mean that’s more than fair but I think that those two employees should have been keeping an eye on the snake kid or at the very least talk to her guardian about this
Was that a bit of subtle commentary on how forgettable her tail is? XD
Or sm I the only one who keeps forgetting she has a tail? lol
Its a common comment.
There’s weird, and then there’s WEIRD. Usually depends on how much it affects you.
Maybe they were too gobsmacked to do anything, and once they recovered they were just happy she was gone.
A lot of the time employees just aren’t allowed to do anything. You just have to put up with it and clean up the mess later.
How was she not banned and Jake charged a small fortune?
IIRC he had to pay for the cards.
Weeeell, he was, at least when he was in different stores which his friends owns, and Modest opened bunch of boosters (i guess it was MTG?), an he had to buy all of them.
It was Pokemon cards
Well, it is nice(?) that they hate her for being her, and not because of what she looks like.
The untold tales. I love it
The tail seems less important when you’re cleaning chicken nuggets out of game boxes.
Yeah. You could tell that story to everyone you know and never mention the tail.
Yeah. Who cares about a tail when you have to handle second hand food.
So is that a gag on here tail usually being off panel where we can’t see it or a reference to the fact that the denizens of this world are used to the fact that they live in a superhero style sci-fi-fantasy kitchen sink?
Well…
In this case its more that these two have seen her so many times. I think this is the 4th set of strips where they’ve dealt with her, and clearly its happened more than we’ve seen. So they’re just used to her, and what stands out to them is her behavior and not her appearance.
But for the manager of course her appearance is jarring.
So are we going to see a future version of Modest…I mean like in the Simpsons.
Some day.
