Penney and Deluxe anything, a contradiction in terms. Maybe a damaged can would interest them. Maybe they saw them coming and put them away; Joy has been known to open a can, then claim that the can is opened and ask for a PM discount.And Burl, I’m holding up one finger!
The whole lot of them are mixed nuts.Well…. nuts. anyhow.
Mikie… what’s a “PM discount?”I even Googled it, to no avail.
Around here, that ploy wouldn’t work.
The stores won’t sell anything opened, even if the stuff inside is wrapped, and you say you don’t care.Liability issues.The lawyers are afraid that the Pennys or their ilk would buy something with a broken seal, then feign illness, or injury…claiming it was adulterated or contaminated… and sue the store.
It galls me to have to say this, but I’m with Burl on this one. Here’s why: At a local supermarket my nephew would pick up a few things for his mum and for our household after work, which, for him, was very early morning. There was this one so-called ‘manager’ (night manager, which translates into Idiot-Like-the-Pennys) who was perpetually surly, lazy and uncooperative. Once, when there was no more sale-priced chicken he refused to write a rain check, saying that the store policy was no rain checks at night. He refused to go in the back where the meat units were to check for more, saying he wasn’t ‘allowed’ back there. He just totally refused to get off his fat, lazy @я$€ to do anything at all even vaguely useful. Nephew was totally cheesed, and left the store before he ended up punching the guy’s smarmy mug. I rang the REAL manager after 0800 and was told Mr Night Manager was flat out lying! The real manager offered to have two packets of chicken delivered to each house for free for our trouble, so at least this guy knew how to try to please customers and make something right. But the guy in the Dinette Set panel today just reminded me of that worthless night manager and my nephew’s crappy experience.

I can guess how many fingers you’re holding up. NONE! You’re too lazy to lift your arm.

Oh, for the love of Mike! Will you go read “Get Fuzzy” or some other wildly funny cartoon and stop bothering the rest of us?

And for what it’s worth, Burl reminds me of my mother, which is why I find this comic hysterically funny.

Easy solution to your issue is to stop reading the comic strip.
