- 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).

That is such an american thing for some reason… My grandma was literally terrified when we once visited the US together and saw an adult man throw a tantrum for not being able to get barbecue sauce In McDonald’s
I wonder what would happen if someone else threw a similar tantrum with the topic "people who throw tantrums (like that other guy) shouldn't get what they want".
I mean, I know what would happen, you'd get permanently trespassed and the other guy would get a comped meal, but you know, it'd be funny for five minutes.
In Japan, they won't say much to your face, but they will say you're impolite, useless and should get fired in the internet reviews, if you didn't treat them like royalty from beginning to end.
That's honestly even more annoying.
I enjoy seeing google reviews where someone is making a huge fuss about their poor restaurant experience, and then the manager responds like "You did not raise any issues during your visit, including when asked by staff. If you had told us of any problem we would have done our best to make it right"
Like how much of a clown did that customer just show themselves to be. Couldn't raise the problem in person, but quite happy to go kick off about it online where they feel anonymous.
Look, another deeply troubling toxic relationship with retail.
I concur. I honestly don't think I had ever seen a customer give a retail employee a hard time before (at least not in a manner that would catch other customers attention) until I visited the US. There it felt like a somewhat regular occurrence, perhaps esp. at fastfood places and Walmarts and whatnot.
"AAAARRRGHH, I want the discounted chips but the shelf is empty - FIX IT, OR ARE YOU JUST COMPLETELY USELESS?!"
Shouldn’t av upcharged me chip, simple as
