Help support the comic on Patreon! All sorts of cool extras found only there! It’s hard not to shout at all the lazy moochers every closing shift. They are keeping us here later than we need, they are the worst[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Help support the comic by becoming a Patron at Patreon! You get access to cool extra stuff seen only there! Those Amazon-holes opened up a physical brick-and-mortar store nearby The Bookstore that I work at. Someone came in to the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

The only reason why that stupid Kim Kardashian “Selfish” book sold so well was due to her taking as many selfie-style pin up/cheesecake pictures as possible for the underage boy to ogle while their parent was busy buying a caramel[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Subject categories change frequently enough. Then they change back. Whatever. It’s retail. It happens. What is insufferable though, is the fact that Home Office will change the categories in our search system WEEKS before we set up the new categories.[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Unfortunately that stupid Fifty Shades movie was pretty successful at the box office and is projected to continue to do so. Because of this terrible outcome we had hundreds of copies of the “Fifty Shades” series come into the store[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The season of cutbacks and hour shortages is upon the retail world. These three to four months of the Post Holiday slump can be extremely brutal on the wallets and savings accounts of part timers. What doesn’t help further is[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
Finishing up the day’s shipment isn’t usually a problem. It usually arrives within the delivery window and it usually isn’t a ridiculously unreasonable amount of boxes. So on a usual day a simple home office message about doing what we’re[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I do really wish that these situations with Beulah were made up, but no. This is all true idiocy at work. One does wonder how these people made it through the interviews and screening processes to be hired.
This just happened to a coworker of mine. I really don’t understand how one could mix up those two people. One is a respected, influential poet, the other is someone who’s famous for having really big lips.
Trying to show someone like Beulah how to do anything is akin to slamming your face into a brick wall. You will never get through. Having the pleasure of cross training quite a few Beulah-types throughout my illustrious bookselling career,[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I got an interesting email from Tonya, a Fabric Retail Employee: “Hey Mike, I’ve been sharing your comics at work and today was a particular “you are why retail slaves think about murder” kind of day. I work in the[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…

More insane theories!! Allie asked if I could make a week long series of a crazy conspiracy nut holding up the line at the cash register and I look at it as a fun challenge. There’s more to come! There[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
The final piece of Allie’s email talks about how Allie gets a lot of “customers that ramble on and on about conspiracy theories…sometimes I engage them, but mostly I nod n’ smile.” I’ve had plenty of crazy people come into[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry…
