!!!! An exciting conclusion to the story—it does seem like you had a lucky break not getting involved. Maybe he has an identical twin and they both work at the store! One twin is the “lekker meisje“ bear hug twin and the other is the aspiring serial killer!

I can't help but sympathize with this Serial Killer guy, because of my vast experience working in customer service. Some people think it gives them a license to treat you like trash.

Retail, food service, grocery clerk, these jobs can make a perfectly nice person go insane! By the way, these crazy people can reputedly be crazy good in the sack.

I felt that, too! Hence my initial fascination with him. It can't be fun, such a mind-dulling job...

LOVE this! The energy in your comics is so infectious! He does sound a bit moody, keeping you on your toes!

I might wear that shirt but I also once owned a “put the fun back in funerals” shirt

I've been told that I "put the fun back into funerals". Perhaps that is why I get asked to be a pallbearer.

I wonder if the guy knows about the comics? I would embarrassed if I discovered I give mixed messages this way.

No. And I disguised him a bit.
