This has nothing to do with comics but i just wanted to put this out there to the Universe. Tomorrow is Dec 1 and that means Christmas is just around the corner. And i ask that as you are out there trying to find the perfect gift remember that sales clerk that helps you out, or the cashier who rings you up, they are people too. Most of them are running rabid trying to get a paycheck so they can buy those gifts for their loved ones. I am not asking that you let someone be out right rude to you but be mindful most are working on their feet for 8 plus hours for little pay. Just putting it out there.

Working at a grocery store only makes me dread Christmas all the more every year.

I am not kind. I am never kind. I shall never be kind. You cannot even attempt to make me.

Come at me bro!

Nothing makes you loathe Christmas like working retail. I remember doing 12-14 hour days for 10 days straight coming up to christmas at my last job. *shudder*

I believe in treating everyone with courtesy and dignity. Although my humor is often misconstrued.

Kindness is not weakness.

Be kind.
