Did you find everything okay?
on July 26, 2020 at 12:01 amThe last time I did an “oh no, waste at the check out aisle!!!!!!!!!!!” strip I got a Leslie out of it, who went on to become one of my most important and beloved characters. This particular cashier person has yet to even show up a second time. Sorry, other cashier person!!!!!

So, only Leslie & Rachel managed to escape Retail Hell? Good for them, but “sad faced emoji” for this girl.
Did Leslie really escape Retail Hell before the Soggies, or did she simply move to a different and exciting variety of it?
By David’s explanation above, my use of “escape” is correct. Both Leslie & Rachel became major characters in the IW! Universe before the Soggies ruined everything. (But I see your point; working for Galasso is just a different flavor of Retail Hell)
I’d call it an oversized comedy prop.
Nah, that implies it’s exaggeratedly large by real world standards. I’ve had receipts like this.
Looks like CVS. Buy one item, get a receipt 5 feet 3 inches long. No lie, I’ve measured it.
But this is not a CVS, it’s a grocery store, where they don’t do this hardly so much.
BTW CVS is our Rx-er of choice, simply because. Can someone tell me if the Walgreens, Rite-Aid, et al do this?
Must have been a CVS. I wonder how many times a day they have to change the receipt paper.
Although I seem to be the only person who’s figured out how to opt out of that mile long receipt and get email only.
All those extras must work, though. If the coupons and rewards points didn’t drive repeat traffic, they wouldn’t print them.
Yeah, I automatically thought of CVS, as well. Can’t remember which store’s receipts I used to think were long before them. 😀
Maybe this other random cashier could make an appearance in a future Dumbing of Age strip?
If Barb the bartender can make the jump (after being discovered at the bottom layer of a Photoshop file for a poster where she was completely obscured), anybody can.
The second best thing my local supermarket ever did was start asking “Do you need a receipt?”
The best thing they did, several years later, was set the checkouts up so they didn’t print them anyway.
My local chain supermarket (DeMoulas Market Basket) still prints paper receipts, but their printers are double-sided.
Stop and Shop (same family as Giant Ahold) still uses paper they sell advertising on. So on the back of your receipt you get coupons and ads for other businesses, like the envelope full of coupons that comes in the mail and goes straight in the bin every week. They also added a second printer to the self checkouts that spits out full color coupons when you scan your membership card. That wouldn’t be so bad if 90% of them weren’t worthless.
What’s the advantage to having a CVS card again?
Well, it depends if your family hits the “over” on the number of prescriptions. Mine is distincly in the “over” category.
