Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for March 28, 2019

well, some grocery stores do have pharmacies… they’ll recommend to Petey what kind of ointment and bandage to put on his pinched finger

Once again, 10 years ago, a blog entry referenced this strip:

In the full-service “super center” grocery stores, the nurses can also perform any necessary finger amputations.

Those carts. The straying ones. They need to be put down.

Where do really bad carts go? shredded, foreign countries, or just stay in line at the store?

What do they call the one who stacks the self-carry baskets?

Patch poor Petey’s painful pinched pointer, pronto!

“Hyah! Hyah” [sound of whip cracking] It’s more fun than you would think!

And if he works hard, they’all promote him to the guy who whacks the wheels with a hammer so that they wobble and slow shoppers down…

When I worked at a grocery store we called it “rounding up the silver buffaloes”.

Ahh, the romantic freedom of the free range cart herd—our modern day equivalent of the cowboy!

But Petey ain’t cut out fer that lifestyle, Little Missy….
