Wasn't Feuti just complaining that they had to refund an idiot customer who had not been informed of the Protection Plan? I get that the Sundays and the weekdays aren't synched but yeesh, Feuti is really bad when it comes to making "retail sucks" comments that accidentally undermine each other. It's All Right Chief Dharma  For those who don't know, this is the previous Boss who, like the current Boss, was fired for damaging the President's model ship. That strip was funnier, though, because Deok-hoo damaged it while the President wasn't in the room. The Boss precipitated the whole crisis by telling the President what happened and then taking the blame for it just to prove a point.  That recap, incidentally, should have clued you in to how no one (you like) is allowed to have nice things in the end.

Nah, that strip said the customer "said" nobody told them about the protection plan. If you've ever worked in an environment where you sell protection plans (or in my case, cell phone insurance), as soon as they drop it and break it/dunk it in water/lose it/have an issue outside of the warranty, suddenly nobody ever told them about the insurance plan (which you definitely told them about, and they definitely declined because "they've never broken a phone") and they demand a new one.

Ohhh so they're like that flight insurance I never buy. Of course bullshitting on that's a lot harder, since it's an electronic form rather than an actual person with an unrecorded conversation. Kind of surprised you don't just include that in the contracts so their denial is in writing.

If I recall correctly, the dog carrier was weighed down with a few gallons of water in jugs, so he was hauling this heavy load off-road on a flimsy caster wheel. He's lucky he had to abandon the whole thing so early, because he definitely would have died of exposure if he was further out.

Muerte is bipolar and was deep in a manic phase when he started that trek. He came out of it and basically admitted in a later blog post (I think) that he had destroyed his life in California for nothing. He's lucky everything broke down before he reached somewhere even remotely dangerous, like Mt. Diablo.

Kind of surprised you don't just include that in the contracts so their denial is in writing. Here's what you have to remember: at the corporate level, stores will never stand up to the customer. They will always buckle under and give them what they want. I know we keep saying this, but yes Retail is an accurate depiction of working in retail with all the bullshit it entails. The Classic Dinette Set does it itself.  Working Daze can get hosed.  Super-Fun-Pak-Comix crosses over with Deep, Dark Fears.

Transmodiar posted:Care to summarize so the rest of us don't have to skim through 78 pages of inanity? Goon w/ self-admitted mental health issues proposes to walk across America, San Francisco to Florida, to bring attention to mental health issues. Goon reveals plan which even to the inexperienced appears to be lacking in planning, pragmatism, and even a firm grounding in reality. Goon ignores advice from other goons, at least one of whom hikes for a living. Goon scams outsiders out of $3k for support via gofundme. Goon sets out bravely from a park in the SF Bay area, assuming 20+ miles of hiking per day. Goon covers ~25 miles in 3 days. Goon takes off a day to recover at a ranger station Goon allegedly passes out on day 5, takes Uber home. Goon then drives his lovely BMW east and breaks down in AZ. Goon is reported to gofundme for scamming after updating his status with info on mechanical problems. Goon is revealed (by sleuthing) to be a notorious scammer banned from SAMart. Goon eventually drives to Florida.

Wait so Brad and Toni are going to be gone until the day before their wedding? Leaving all the planning, reservations, and scheduling to everyone else? I thought Brad had "nobly" taken on all the planning on for himself since he was the one who wanted the big wedding...and now he's just skipping out? Also my mom and sister work for roving fire crews/ fire departments and you can't have just like half your full time staff leave to fight a wild fire together, what happens if there is a fire in town? Getting mad about comics.....
