Clair has just moved out of her parent’s place so doesn’t have much experience, which is the point of the strip, (though I am wondering why her rental apartment doesn’t have a super, at least she’s showing independence and didn’t sit on her hands until her dad could do it for her). Clerks do tend to disappear between you locating the correct aisle and you finding nothing that looks remotely like the piece you need to replace. Clair sees a confident woman and assumes she can help. Her friend doesn’t see past the external much. Being young isn’t insulting as long as she’s clueless in some “female” life skills too- which she has been.

She may be a plumber herself. I haven’t yet met a woman who is; but there’s always a first time.
