Cathy: The wiped-out retirement funds? The collapsed housing market? Saleswoman: Seen it! Done it! Over it! Cathy: And all the unpaid bills heaped on our kitchen counter?

Sadly, this pretty much sums up the mentality of most shoppers.

especially the ones who have all those unpaid bills….. we try to pay ours in full every month, and shop accordingly. No fashion junkies here, just practical but we are not stuck under a mountain of debt!

No mountain of bills, no need to buy a “darling new bin” in which to stuff them.

What I like about this strip is that it is so entirely ridiculous. That’s what makes it funny! I kept waiting to see how the saleslady would answer each objection, and I thought sure Cathy had got her with the last question, but nooo - when you have your mind set on a certain way of thinking, nothing (such as reality, for example) can stop you.
