What can a restaurant worker do with one busted arm? Be a host/hostess by pencilling in the reservations over the phone?
When I sprained my ankle at the grocery store last November before Thanksgiving (must’ve tripped over a rock or lost my footing when collecting carts one day), I had to sit down at an entrance and greet customers entering and try my best to tell them where things are when asked. I was better again before Christmas a few weeks later.
Cut the passive agressive snark and for once, act like an adult Luann. Tiff is working. For money. Like an adult. No, you do not have a right to judge how she gets the job done as you are not her manager. You, on the other hand, Luann, are procrastinating on writing your navel gazing novel and leaning on Tara for effort/help doing that. Let Ox do whatever makes him happy so long as the work is getting done, and let Tiff handle her own relationships.
Stand down with that tray, Ox. Just look at it: two lonely burgers, one anemic sandwich that is as flat as Bernice, and a cup of cream of potato soup that has a big spider on top of it. Yummers.
Its odd that dilbert went down at the same time as this site. Scott seemed to indicate that there was some sort of hack going on their end. Wonder if they’re hosted by the same company.
Luann is finally caught in Tiffany’s story. I wonder if Tara is listening too and what she’s thinking. Maybe she’ll suggest to go and check what the thief has taken from the mansion, perhaps together with Ox, Les and Gunther?Ox seems so happy to help Tiffany♡. I think by now everyone in The Fuse has figured out how much he likes her.
Because unless Al and Irma know about Tiffany staying in the Gulag and are “Okay” with it, then she’s inadvertently putting the lads in a bad position considering the Gray’s “No Co-Habitation” rule.
Yeah, Yeah, I know.
Ox wants to do it, because he has a crush on Tiff.
Same with Les.
Two love-sick guys currying favor.
In truth, there’s only one Guy involved in this situation who’s helping Tiffany out of the goodness of his heart.
A Guy who’s helped her many times in the past.
A Guy who’s heart is liable to get Ripped Out when his girlfriend finds out what’s going on….., ;-)
I never realized how reliant I was on this page lol! I could only find half my comics without gocomics. And as much as many comments irk me, I missed that too! Lol
If Luann wants to be a writer, maybe she should look inside herself and write from there, not delve into other people’s lives looking for a pre-made story to copy. This doesn’t look like her calling.
Luann has a moment of clarity (gasp) when she realizes Tiffany got hurt and may be having trouble at work, but then she makes a rude, snarky remark about the effort. It takes a really special kind of person to insult someone with an injury. Oh well, maybe she can help sleuth out the mystery of the broken window at the mansion.
It’s also weirdly insulting in this post covid day & age that Luann asks “are you OK to work?” Like, what person isn’t aware that we live in a country with no sick leave? Who would say “wow, thanks Luann! I think I’ll just risk the job and head home to my mansion where I’m not supposed to be alone!” Luann attacks Tiff for being spoiled rich, then attacks Tiff for putting in effort working, even if that means coming up with creative solutions to get the job done. Literally every manager I have seen encourages teamwork, often to the point of burning out there hardest workers. F Luann and her judgment, she has a problem she can go full Karen, ask for the manager & get Tiff fired. Maybe she can be the one to guilt sleep with Ox while she’s at it.
Tiffany is being grateful to Ox and he’s doing his part at his job. Besides, cashier work and checking on customer satisfaction is part of the job and likely what Tiffany is doing since she’s not able to use both hands. Luann, can stuff it with the sanctimonious attitude.
OK, Luann, don’t be a pain. Tiff’s arm probably hurts, she’s undoubtedly bruised all over from the fall down the stairs, and there’s the emotional fallout of the whole thing. If YOU were in the same boat, you’d expect help from co-workers.
I think Luann’s comment to Tiffany about Ox doing all her work due to her injured right arm (assuming she is drawn as a righty, although is Lu a lefty?) is entirely appropriate, he is going out of his way to do her work, to serve for her. The message has not gotten to her, apparently, what the meaning of his kindness and service for her means, will that get a chance to grow? If played only for laughs no, but a foray into feelings might finally be in order.

Welcome Back Everyone!
It’s nice to see this place back online. Did anyone notice any substantive differences on the site?
Hate seeing Ox doing all of Tiff’s work. Doesn’t seem right. She should really be at home if she can’t do anything.
,
So who helped get Tiffany dressed for work? Les or Gunther?? LOL

Most bosses at a restaurant would send a person with their arm in a sling home. Why is she at work like that?

Judging Tiff already Luann? She and Ox have some history you know nothing about. You should have someone loyal as Ox for yourself.

Luann! Pay attention to what Tiff is saying!
“Going back to the dorm was — well, long story — …”
Never mind writing about Brad. Write about the dorm drama that Stef created mumble weeks ago.

Other than #%€*, Tiffany can’t really reward Ox for all his concern & help. Maybe some nice girl other than Tiffany will cut Ox a break.

Take advantage of the poor guy, Tiff.

Because unless Al and Irma know about Tiffany staying in the Gulag and are “Okay” with it, then she’s inadvertently putting the lads in a bad position considering the Gray’s “No Co-Habitation” rule.

Luann calling someone else lazy is the height of irony, considering the number of things she’s quit after encountering the slightest resistance.
