* IgnoredAesop: After Davis realizes that Lacey is tricking him by calling everything "classic" and chews her out, she apologizes and promises it won't happen again. Then immediately asks if he would like an "old-fashioned" roast beef sandwich or some "homestyle" stew, suckering him right back in and showing that the only thing she's learned is to be even sneakier with her marketing.

* CassandraTruth: Wanda is such a know-it-all that, when Karen's finally fed up and tries to expose her, Davis thinks she's gone mad from too much work.
-->'''Wanda:''' $46.87?\\
'''Davis:''' Amazing!\\
'''Karen:''' Well, not so amazing. This calculator says $32.74.\\
'''Davis:''' Well, that's embarrassing. Karen screws it up even using the calculator.\\
'''Karen:''' What?!\\
'''Davis:''' Well, it's the only logical explanation.



* HypocriticalHumor: When Davis first learns from Jonathan that Lacey is tricking him with "Classic" food, he tells her off and says he won't buy into her buzzwords again, instead going to the bar to eat Phil's Classic Nachos.



* LaserGuidedKarma: In TheTag, after driving Karen away by making her look like an idiot, Wanda is bombarded by math questions from Corner Gas customers that she avoids answering. It looks like she'll get out of it when the new cash register is delivered...until she's asked to include GST and shipping costs in the payment.

* WeaksauceWeakness: Wanda, considered by most to be the smartest person in town, can't do simple math. Of course, since she's considered the smartest person in town, they all just assume her math is correct and refuse to accept any evidence to the contrary.
