I came across a Thanksgiving clearance aisle yesterday. The Christmas stuff has already pushed Thanksgiving into clearance. I yelled at it until someone gently reminded me that they were inanimate objects.. “It’s not Thanksgiving yet! Why are you on clearance?”
I don't think anyone ever remembered to put a tape cartridge in those surveillance camera systems in the 80's. And if they did, the camera was misalligned or the tape was corrupted.
Because I was bored at my job at a bank, I usually waved at the cameras and made faces. Dancing might or might not have happened (I was REALLY bored). Plus I'm one of those "oh look! A squirrel!" people. Letting me run out of work was a bad, bad thing to do.
My experience with the cameras is also bank related. The lack of film was a problem for what I was doing, so when technology changed to real-time video I was a happy camper.
You'll be glad to know that bankers are still waving and dancing for the cameras, the difference now is that someone might be watching! 😀
It's too early for my ho-ho's to kick in just yet. I'm actually trying to me nice to store employees these days. I don't want to encounter myself as a customer in one of your strips!
I'm a musician and I delay playing any Holiday Songs until after Thanksgiving. Thankfully, only Target seems to have jumped on the Early Mistletoe Bandwagon this year.
How is my holiday mental health? Picture, if you will, the scene in "The Shining" when Jack Nicholson hacked through the door with a fire axe. I envy his sanity.
My tree is already up! (Because 2025 has been such a march of chaos I never took it down...)
Thanksgiving is becoming a persona non grata, completely overwhelmed by Christmas. I make a motion combine Thanksgiving and Christmas into Thanksmas.

Seems like both of these could be wonderful strip ideas in the near, or distant, future.
Ho ho ho! 🦃 🎅🏻 😄!
When ever I see Christmas lights in a store in mid November. I'm tempted to act drunk, walk around and start shouting Merry Christmas.
Then people will look at me funny. And that will be the perfect time for me to berate them for not knowing what month it is.

Good times.

Just thinking that prevents prevents from being one of those customers.

Target is the only super store near me without its own gas station. They need to try extra hard.
This round was particularly funny. I love the background signs on the wall and the comments from the self checkout machine. Well done!
Thank you!

I used to be there.
Where’s the “What’s a holiday?” option on the poll?
These consistently a) Remind me of my retail (mis)adventures, b) put a smile on my face. Thank you.
I love all these
