- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

I don't think competent comic writers need to do the panel-where-nothing-happens trick to make the joke jokier.
I'm a physician, and I shop at Dollar Tree almost daily. Only chumps pay more than they have to.
You've gotta be careful with that. Normally dollar tree is more expensive per ounce than from other retailers. So even if it's cheaper in the moment you might actually be costing yourself more in the long run. As they say it's expensive to be poor, and dollar tree is part of the problem.
Alas, I worry I do.
Recently started shopping at a small/local chain grocer. Their produce prices are comparable to Safeway and the other large chain grocery stores in my area, but their sales are much worse and are generally only on much lower quality products.
I'm doing this out of the probably misplaced notion that its helping to support smaller business and thus keeping the profits more localized. But I worry that I'm just fooling myself with it all.
Def don't let any aspirants of my habits shame you for taking care of your own budget first.
Another punchline that would work: "Why would a real lawyer be wasting their time trying to argue with a dollar store cashier about shit I have no power over, even if I did care?"
Haven't met a real lawyer I see
I'm (technically) a lawyer, and I frequently pop in to various Dollar-themed discount retailers. Gotta be careful with where they find their profits, though. The three-dollar broom is probably worth three dollars, but the three dollar bottle of overly diluted glass cleaner probably isn't.
Not knowing that puffery is a thing is a dead giveaway for our green-shirted friend, there, though.

This is an actual conversation i have had with a person.
