Imagine a rod breaking on a robot face - forever
Retail is a good comic. The corporate retail culture is an endless well of absurdity and Feuti captures it almost perfectly.

Black Gold!

You know what I hate most about Luann? Les has specifically stated several times in both stern and nice tones that he prefers being called Les, not Leslie, yet every-loving-body in the strip still calls him Leslie because he's the MEAN OLD BULLY MAN AND WE ALL MUST poo poo ON HIM CONSTANTLY. No one IRL calls someone by their given name instead of their preferred name unless you wanted to piss them off on the playground of elementary school or are just a real piece of poo poo scumbag, which is what most of the cast in Luann is.

Also, Gunther is an even bigger piece of poo poo than Les. Grew some stubble and now suddenly he's the loving Marlboro Man. Give me a break.

Yeah, scheduling fuckery is one of the most irritating parts of retail jobs. And my stories are relatively minor:

- When I worked retail in high school, I had to keep telling my boss that, no, I couldn't work shifts in the morning on weekdays. Why? Because I was in freaking high school! I wasn't going to skip class for that poo poo job.

- When the summer of my senior year ended, I tried to be nice and gave my boss four weeks notice. He turned around and said 'No, that's not enough time to find a replacement. I need you to work for at least another six weeks.' Considering that would overlap with my first week of college, I politely told him to gently caress off.
The only real story I have about getting screwed on scheduling during retail was when I gave one sales job I had my two week's notice...and then the next day my manager calls me and tells me he was told to "let me go" right away

That was the job where I did sales on 3% commission...but only on tales where the total was $200 or up. If it was $199.99, I didn't get a dime. Some of the sales people would, when faced with a $199.99 sale, would "buy" some one-dollar candy bar for the customer (on the customer's bill) to get it over $200. That's not counting the ways that non-sales people were able (and expected) to steal commissions from the sales staff, because corporate thinking was "if the salesperson wasn't able to get to that customer, he didn't deserve getting the commission".

That whole job was a cavalcade of bizarre bullshit.

(Never work commission. Ever.)

Luann


I would consider Les's comment rude and sexist except that Gunther has been going out of his way to be an absolute shitstain for the whole evening, so Les should go right ahead and try to hurt his pwecious feewings.

And Pru is willing to let Les think he's her boyfriend because he buys her things. It has nothing to do with her alleged naievete. She has at no time made any attempt to discourage his attention or even told him she's a lesbian. She is a bad person. That is all.

On the one hand, yes, Pru should have been a bit more honest when Les called it a date after showering her with gifts. On the other hand, it's more than a little weird to call someone your girlfriend after one not-really date.

I give Les and Tiffany alot of passes, because of what we know about their lovely childhoods.
Les has some rough edges, but gently caress, all he'd need, probably, is ONE loving PERSON willing to reach out to him.
Tiffany and Les are the more realistic, and relatable, people than anyone else in the strip.

Been catching up on the thread and missed the Funky saga at the BMV. HOLY poo poo he can gently caress right off. I actually work at one and I get this same treatment from asshats like him all day. "Why do I need a birth certificate? Me being here proves I was born" while at the same time they would side glance someone in a hijab and then say we were giving them preferential treatment Everyone gets the same treatment dipshit :ssh: or getting pissed when they let their license lapse for YEARS and we have the gall to follow the law and ask for a written and drive exam. Don't get me started on title fraud I see everyday but he's ranting about licenses so I'll leave it with that topic.

These comics are the epitome of "rules are only for those we don't trust and I should not be personally inconvenienced in any way" :rant:

There doesn't seem to be one. There's an official Facebook fan page linked from GoComics, but I have no idea who runs it. Probably someone at GoComics rather than Greg or Karen.

On the other hand, there is a fake Luann Twitter account, and it is wonderful.

I wouldn't on a personal level, professional oh yeah I would. Complaints would increase ten fold and our drive examiners and tests stations are taxed to the limit as is. And they deal with some of the WORST people and have to trust complete strangers behind the wheel on a daily basis :smith:

Practically anything can get blown up in our faces, and the vast majority of the time it really isn't our fault, we just are the bearer of bad news or just point out blatant stupid poo poo you are trying to cheat about. White out on address proofs or titles doesn't fix things people, it just makes us ask a hell of a lot more questions

Edit: sorry about the rant, just some pent up poo poo after reading that comic.

As in her family name? It's possible. I've never heard of that being a family name before though. Her husband and son's family name is 변, which creates a weird pun I have no clue how to translate. The son's name reads as 변기통 or "bathroom wastebasket", and it took me a minute to realize that was actually his name.
