This. F***ing. Joke.
January 26, 2009
I’m sure I’m not the first cartoonist to comment on people saying this, but my rehiring at the grocery store where I worked work will continue to work until I die touched a nerve. Several times in one day, actually. If you’re reading this and think your little “free” bon mot is witty or original in any way, please stop before a cashier is compelled to leap over the conveyor belt and rip your windpipe out with their teeth.
Thank you.



I know the pain….three years at Kmart. This and the manager ended up breaking my soul (’til I went to college; that repaired it).
Indeed!
ONe day, i will say this to someone who makes that joke at my job.
What I used to do was responde immediately with “NO!!!!” and just have 5 seconds of silent eye contact, then, not breaking the eye contact, call for a price check.
That’s why I say, “It’s not scanning huh… SO I’M NOT F***ING PAYING!”
Words cannot describe how much I love this comic. I have a sinking feeling that I’ll be hearing this at least 5 times when I start working for the summer at my local Giant Eagle on thursday.
so true, kinda like the reciept man eh?
yea I know you remember
