Silly family antics and goofball humor, the Drabble family tickles readers' funny bones with outrageous antics. Kevin Fagan's lighthearted family strip chronicles the zany mishaps of his offbeat characters, especially goofball college student Norman Drabble and his donut-eating father Ralph. One of the best-loved families in the comics, the Drabble clan also includes smart younger brother Patrick, precocious little sister Penny, and June, the Drabble matriarch best known as "Honeybunch."
From Norm's relentless pursuit of his dream girl to Ralph's hilarious power struggles with Oogie the cat, Drabble is always full of witty, wacky and wonderful humor. The genuine love that keeps the Drabbles from driving each other crazy makes it one of the best family comic strips around, and the loony things they do make it one of the funniest.

You ought to see… eh, hear… the Member Services people at my credit union (since all you can do is hear them chatting. You never actually get to see one).

It’s because they’re trying to herd you into using one of those self checkout kiosks and it isn’t happening.
I’ll leave without buying anything before doing the store’s job and paying for the privilege…

Chat all they want…The only time I used the self check out was in a store that gives you a discount for it..everything cost less then the chains…

Ideal Express Lane: 5 items or less. Cash only. No chatting.

My daughter has worked at two supermarkets, and she says that they record the number of customers each cashier handles in an hour. They are reviewed weekly and ‘informed’ if they feel their line’s moving too slowly.

The trick is to be friendly while working all the time so that your conversation ends as the transaction does. You have to scan so many items per hour and take care of a certain number of people.
Also, there are some people that come through your line that you should never, ever ask, “How are you doing today?” or “How’s your day been so far?”

Hard to believe Ralph is only buying one thing.

…and they usually put the slowest checker in the express lane.

I got tired of waiting in line so I use the self-checking registers. Still had to wait. The people there were talking to themselves.

Studies of “Self Check out” shows big losses. Not only because of theft but mistakes too

I once purposely took a frozen turkey thru the self service check out and had to have 2 employees try to get it to work correctly.

an hourly paid cashier will only get the dollars for the hours they are on the clock. I don’t think they will be given OT to make a quota of customers.

Do they also check to see how many delays were because of store pricing error, or customer problems?

Where I go the problem isn’t usually the cashier. The problem is luddites who refuse to get credit or debit cards and insist on writing checks or, worse, paying with loose change and taking their sweet time to count out every penny from every crevice of a mothball-eaten purse. There should be at least three or four lines in every store where cash and check are FORBIDDEN and only swipeable plastic is accepted.
