The Dinette Set by Julie Larson for January 14, 2010

They are about to become the Dreaded Shoppers of Walmart, gasp!

Don’t see a visa

I see the word VISA in the counter’s wood paneling.

You two are correct. I was looking for a card shaped item.

They look like the Wal-Mart kind of customers to me. Hope he didn’t smother that sweater in bacon and or fish.

Nobody seems to be getting the joke.

Who’s the guy in the black trench coat, Secret Service? Mac, then I guess I don’t get it either, looks like a typical Dinette Set. Clue us in?

Carter’s is a Children’s clothing line.

Yep, typical Dinette Set, nothing to ‘get’.

How about –he’s not an executive, nor would they spend money on cashmere. And the clerk recognizes that. Maybe the clerk thinks it was shop-lifted.

How about the man in the dark suit is the store detective who also can’t believe they bought a cashmere sweater?

While the Pennys are not the classiest folks you would ever meet, the store clerk is being down-right insulting! If I was treated like that in a swanky store, the clerk might find himself walking funny for the rest of the day. We walked out of the mens department of an upscale store because the clerk suggested our 17 year old try the boys deparment. The next place we went treated our son like a CEO and we bought $375 worth of clothes!

manny interprets what joy says as, “it doesn’t suit him.”

btw is that an empty sears bag that burl is holding? Possible that the ‘executive cashmere sweater,’ came from sears?
