Jeanie’s in trouble…
Well Jean girlfriend shouldn’t be cheating but maybe the guy didn’t about Jean? Are they even going out anymore at this point?
IIRC, the last thing that happened on the Jean/Belle front was the “Best sex I ever had” incident. And Jeannie never did manage to get Nat to demonstrate.
Based on the “Jean is a Pig” website and Jeanie’s own experience on prom night, he may not have been all that great and any improvement might be considered best. Besides, Belle may have had poor lovers all her life, gravitating towards bad boys, making Neil the best because he isn’t a self-centered pig.
I assumed that Neil as a lover, was sweet-natured, gentle and considerate, setting him worlds apart from Jean.
Hell, even just being willing to talk and LISTEN would practically make him Jean’s diametric opposite.
Looking back at the previous strip, Belle appears to have been handed her drink first, before Jeanie “accidentally spills” the other. It’s partially visible between the spilling drink cup and the cash register.
In this strip, panel 2, it looks like Belle is holding a cup that isn’t there. A layer visibility issue?
She might still be holding it in panel 4 (if so, it’s invisible there, too).
Must be.
Because Belle ordered her stuff “extra hot”, Michael had an ice-coffee. Jeannie only spilled the latter, not the first… or there would have been other noises coming out of his face-hole.
Your right. Panel two Belle is holding a coffee cut the isn’t there in her left hand. In panel 4 she is either holding the coffee cup in her right hand or fondling her right–never mind. But after all it is magic.
In Panel 2, Belle has her coffee in her left hand. In Panels 3 & 4, her left hand isn’t visible, Michael is blocking our view of it. So there’s no mysterious disappearence; we just can’t see the cup because of our viewpoint.
In panel 2, Belle’s left hand *appears* to be grasping a cup, but the cup is non-visible. Her thumb and four fingers are small circles, because they are extending out of the page (so we see them as tips). But they aren’t visually connected to any other body part — you can see the *wall* behind where the palm of the hand would be. The cup is not shown, but was presumably intended. Thus, my assumption is that the layer was set to non-visible in photoshop, and the flattened image doesn’t have it.
The cup *could* be out of our view, still in Belle’s left hand, in panel 4. That makes the drawing of her right hand a little weird, since it looks like it’s clasping something… but hands are hard to draw. An alternate possibility is that she switched it into her right hand, and it *should* be visible to us, but again, the layer properties for the cup in panel 4 was set to non-visible, and the flattened image therefore doesn’t show it.
Just something that can be fixed after the cruise.
I’m sorry, was that supposed to be Maturity leave or Maternity leave? XD
My bad.
I thought it was because she was on probation.
Maturity leave = retirement?
Even though Jeanne did that deliberately, the guy is an asshole for mistreating a server. Belle should dump his ass and tell him why.
Given Belle’s reaction to his outburst, maybe she has realized new boyfriend isn’t much better than the old one.
Hope that you found that stunt to be worth it, Jean. It’s going to cost you an earful now.
she is waiting his third wish! he’ll likely forget amd wish someting stupid…. 🙂 🙂
Actually I’m pretty sure he hasn’t made any wishes yet.
He might just wish to be rid of Jeannie…
Honestly, still showing a lot of restraint for Jean…
I’m sure that ill-fitting t-shirt cost him a fortune.
No.
NONONONONO.
Unless Jeannie did something blatantly illegal or physically harmful, the FIRST thing to be cleared up is that asshole customer. You don’t get an apology or favors or cleanup when you call an employee a “dumb-ass bitch.” As soon as you do that, ALL bets are off. The customer is OUT.
Once the customer has been escorted from the premises and banned for life, THEN Jeannie gets reamed out.
She committed (simple) assault. She did *not* trip, she did *not* slip. The only attempt on her part at making it loom accidental was her saying “oops” as she — grinning — tossed the drink at him.
This is not a customer going off on an employee who slipped up. This is a customer yelling at a person (in your employ) who assaulted them.
(Also, while we know the drink was iced, and therefore not likely to be harmful, spilled *hot* coffee on skin can burn, depending on the temp it’s served at. Orange Dude, as manager, is doing the right thing — though the “right” right thing would’ve been to not let young Jean work at all, since she isn’t even an employee.)
Yeah, but try and prove it. With a suspect who can vanish in a puff of smoke?
Wish number one, clean his shirt.
Cleaning bill? For a t-shirt? A plain t-shirt?
We don’t know that it’s plain. Maybe it’s imported Egyptian cotton, woven by virgins inside a secluded temple to Osiris and sewn by a blind seer.
Yeah. That ought to be worth double the price of a regular T-shirt. Plus tax!
Macy’s is selling Hugo Boss Men’s Silk & Cotton T-shirts for… $228.
It’s DryClean only, of course.
Don’t think much of this dude after that performance.
This may backfire on her if he says something like “I wish you would behave”
Maybe but she turned a similar one around on the captain. Still this guy seems either to not want to wish as he doesn’t believe in it or smart enough to hold off. We’ll see.
I wish you actually worked here so I could fire you!
Ha ha! Good one!
It’s what I’m expecting, too. Orange Shirt is going to blow at least one — maybe all — of his wishes reacting to Jeanie’s messing up that shirt. If he does have any left, I think they’ll be a lot more reasonable.
Of course, he could say, I wish I could know what got into you and find himself the twin of teenage Jeanie.
iwish you would grow up? I wish you had a little reponsibility? I wish you could put yourself in my place??
I’m still trying to figure out what the logo on the little red-heads (not Belle0 cap stands for. Is it a sports team or did CD just make it up.
I’m pretty sure it’s the logo for the LA Lakers. The colors are right, and you can just see a hint of the golden ball behind the letter “L”.
cleaning bill for a ratty tshirt? comeon!
The cleaner is probably going to charge the same as for a man’s dress shirt, with an extra charge for trying to get out the coffee stain. Such stains can be tough to get out. But even if the charge were only 50 cents, it would be right for the guy to demand that Orange Shirt pay for it.
Jean is being too full of herself. Being so sharp, it’s only a matter of time before she cuts herself.
We’re about due for a cutaway to RedShirtPerson.
She’ll get to drive her new car.
Or not.
She could trade it for a wish.
I think we may be missing the point – I think she had a very specific reason for doing this. The folks that think she might be trying to provoke her colleague into wishing for something thoughtlessly might be on to something. But I’m willing to wait and see – I think she has a plan here.
I suspect Jeanie wanted the object of wish guys affection to see he wasn’t a push over and was willing to be somewhat dominant. In previous panels he’d been all meek, scaredy and mild. Notice baseball cap girl looking over all surprised rather than at Belle and BF’s reaction.
Is Jeanie wearing a Christmas sweater dress in the banner? Very nice.
It’d be a fun present to unwrap.
Now why did she miss Rita (bitch she hates from high school) in favour of drenching unnamed dudebro?
Easy there Male Karen! You’re better off just putting those denim jeans and cotton T-shirt in your regular laundry (maybe pre-treat with a stain lifter).
Dry Cleaning is for materials that don’t do well being soaked in water and kicked around, like wool suits.
…May as well give you the full list:
Wool
Polyester
Polyester blends
Silk
Velvet
Leather
Chiffon
Other delicate fabrics
The point is, for regular common fabrics, your home laundry machine is superior to the Dry Cleaning system.
It would be fun if it wasn’t that expensive.
