Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for November 04, 2024

Those Words Have Meme-ing

I’m sharing this story because it happened! It actually happened! A customer storms up to the counter with some food packaging, taking it out of a delivery-app third-party bag.

Customer: “I want a refund! This is not what I ordered! I had to drive all the way over here!”

The customer gets out a receipt for Arby’s. My eyes go wide, and I say to the customer:

Me: “Sir… this is a Wendy’s.”

The customer still complained, and the manager still gave him a free meal (spineless loser), but for a moment, I got to be a meme. Felt great.

Seeing Through Glass

I am called over to a table with four middle-aged women.

Customer: “There is glass in my food!”

Me: “Ma’am, we don’t use glass, except in cups and wine glasses, which you don’t have.”

Customer: “I would like a refund and free meal for you all putting glass into my food!”

Me: “I just told you, we don’t use glass, not even in the kitchen.”

Customer: “What kind of restaurant is not refunding for a health hazard?! I’m leaving!”

One of the other customers calls me over.

Other Customer: “I saw them use a small ziplock bag of glass shards!”

They did NOT get away with it.

Boris Can See Through You

The mall is located right next to the airport, so we tend to get a lot of foreigners. Two customers enter the store.

Me: “Hello, is there anything I can—”

Customer: With a thick accent “We do not speak English; we are Russian.”

Me: “Добрый вечер.”

Customer: Drops accent “Okay, we aren’t Russian.”

and the only trouble you might face with them is to make them understand

And they always seem to find me.

Nonetheless, they can sting you.

Are you perhaps referring to any voter who is as yet . . . undecided?

Aunty, what happened to you? You look like a jellyfish today.

Perfect description of Donald Trump!

Actually, you’re worse than that Aunty. Speaker for a friend.

Jellyfish: no spine, no brain, no apparent reproductive organs. See also: politician.

I was working in a gift shop in Hawaii and there was an art piece of three metal dolphins hanging on the wall behind the register. Two elderly ladies come in and one says, “That’s a beautiful piece. Can you hang it on a wall?” Rather dumbfounded I replied, “Well….um…it is now…so ya”. That has to be the dumbest question I’ve ever been asked. Close second, and I surprisingly got this a fair amount, someone from the Mainland asking if we take American money. I had to inform them that we are a state in the USA, so yes, we do take American money.

…..and that is why the sting hurts so bad!!!!!

Mitch McConnell.

But mess wit’ ‘em and you’ll wish you hadn’t.

Great description of the Magas and the Republican party who are transfixed by democracy-killer Trump.

Thanks b.john71! Well stated. “And they vote”

MAGA tRump Republicans!

And some people are quick to point out other peoples flaws.

Only thing is Jellyfish aren’t arrogant.

This strip is stuck as well? Hm. It’s not the end of the world as we know it, right? RIGHT?

Perfect description of Congress.

Some jellyfish have stinging tentacles.

Ut oh, no strip today, Nov. 6. Get with it, GC!

She is talking about Trump. The Only POTUS born without a brain.

Try talking pure American to tRump.

Where has aunty been the past few days?

I checked but couldn’t find any updated Aunty Acid on any other comic site. Checked Google to see if it’s been cancelled and found nothing. Hopefully it will return soon.

Where’s todays comic November 7

I wonder if Ged is ok. Three days w/o Aunty.

Hope Ged is OK.
