Yeah that's true.

What if you offer to pay for the water?

Then you get a "what, do we look like we need your fuckin' charity??"

I think that would confuse people. Or they would get you bottled water.

I hadn't thought about him doing anything with the bartender, but I did think right away that he's going to get hammered and do something stupid or cause some kind of drama due to it.

I think his getting smashed and missing his bus is a given. Then I'm betting on Clare rescuing him from a bad situation.

Trump delenda est

To me this whole thing is a bit weird, since if you go to a bar here and just order water without anything else, you're likely going to have to pay for it. Situation averted.

A lot of bars in a lot of countries, I imagine that you'e just be served a mineral water at rip-off prices at this point. But as the barmaid is trying very hard to make clear, This. Is. A. Very. Basic. Bar. So let's just roll with that.

Okay very basic bar no bottle/mineral water.

I know here in Phoenix, it's illegal to refuse someone water. Because it gets so hot, it's a health risk. Someone asks you for water, they get tap water, no questions asked.

I imagine they aren't worried about that in the North East, especially from people who admit they are just waiting for a bus (though in some cases like if it was really cold it would be a worse move to refuse I think), though given the heat that makes sense.

It's perfectly reasonable for a bar to have a policy that you need to buy something in order to actually be there. But bars have more than just alcohol. Most do have water bottles, or if all else fails, tap water, though I think it does vary whether they charge for that. Bars also offer some basic food options - I think that, by law, they're required to have a menu in order to serve alcohol.

If this bar is near a bus station, it would stand to reason that it would get a reasonable amount of business from people coming and going on buses. So they would absolutely have food and non-alcoholic beverages available.

So this bartender is just an incredible bitch and doesn't actually deserve to have her job. Even aside from the bullshit condescension, she didn't offer any options, which would be part of her job.

And look, Coffee of Doom always had the whole "insult customers" angle, but they were funny about it. It was a hipster coffee shop, where sarcastic comments were actually part of the service. And even then, we seldom really saw them being rude to customers. We know that treating the place like Starbucks is a quick way to get insulted, and hitting on the baristas is an invitation to be insulted. But for the most part, just being in Coffee of Doom isn't going to get you insulted. They're smart enough to be able to gauge their customers, and know when something is or isn't appropriate.

This woman clearly doesn't get that. So she should be fired. If the bar supports this kind of thing, then it's not a bar that deserves any customers.

X-Men X-Pert, my blog where I talk about X-Men comics.

I got the impression that it wasn't deliberate sass so much as her being on autopilot and him inputting a request that wasn't in her programming.

What's precedent ever done for us?

Dolphin Jack!

Weren't the early comics paper-drawn? The style is giving me flashbacks.

"You are never taller then when standing up for yourself"

The note at the bottom says it's been about ten years since he last drew something like this.

New page

Wait a minute...

Uhm, isn't that still one?

"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."

It's an archive glitch. The new version has replaced the paper-drawn page that went up yesterday, but the old version uploaded as a new page.

Maybe he forgot which one to upload. Imma backup the shotgun anyway.

Oh so that's what hap'nd. Well the backup will be handy once he fixes the glitching.

Schrödinger's Gun gets literal.

she her hers hOI!!! i'm tempe

I kinda prefer the shotgun tbh. It really sums up how Clinton's day is going, and adds an element of dark humor to the whole thing even.

I saw the old version of the page on my RSS feed. The new version feels more in the spirit of the comic to me.

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

I feel like this bar and Coffee of Doom give the same employee training courses.

"You are never taller then when standing up for yourself"

And then it turns out her and Faye got into a "Swords vs Harpoons" argument in the training center.

"You can reply to this Message!"

Given that the picture on the wall appears to show the Titanic, this bar appears to one-up Coffee of Doom on the "...of Doom" part.
