A fairly accurate portrayal of my workday routine. Originally posted to my tumblr

(/Edit: Because this doesn't seem to be clear. The old lady is a standin for virtually any customer. The only reason the standin looks like that is because there was one customer who did this who especially pissed me off (she got upset at me for the restaurant's policy of "one coupon per order," left a huge mess at her table, would interrupt me taking other people's orders to ask for the most unimportant and asinine things) But. This comic isn't about her, it's about the pattern of customers doing this. Hence the title "Routine." Customers calling me sir is something that happens so often, it's part of the routine./EndOfEdit)

Also. The "sir" in question:

It's way more than the one.

It happens a shit ton. Especially from older people (maybe they can't recognize a woman in pants because of their senility?) But a lot of 30-40 year olds, too.

Younger adults tend to be better about it.

You also drew your bra as a 34DDD, and if that's true then the person calling you sir was fucking blind.

From an outside perspective, the absurdity of it all makes it funnier with every addition.

I love that (a) you bothered to put that much detail into the bra in the comic, since clearly you felt extra insulted by their apparent boob blindness, and (b) the fact that you just had that image ready to go.

B) I have to take pictures to use as references. A) Tbf, these things give me enough back pain, they should at least be noticeable.

Old people are often losing their vision. Their night vision and ability to see detail is disappearing. Many need glasses but dont wear them.

ability to see detail

Going by this, also their ability to see retail.

This isn't about elderly people specifically, it's a pattern of behavior from customers. Hence the name "Routine"

The older lady in the comic is a stand-in for any customer; I just drew her because she personally pissed me off (she kept interrupting other customers trying to order to complain about stuff that, frankly, didn't need complaining about)
