Only a salesclerk who was desperate to make commission would try to push such a seasonally inappropriate outfit. It’s just a bit too early yet to be pushing the heavy layers, dearie! EYEROLL

She should have said “Yes, I do” because she sure does! And she looks like a man too. Certainly not the look for a wedding…Good morning, legaleagle and Susan!Good morning, Aaron! I hope your night was calm. Thank you and Billy for your wonderful message yesterday! I must have posted my reply at the same time as Billy.

I got nothing. I guess it used it all up on my other comics today. I’ll see how it goes when I’m awake. LMB is already asleep on my shoulder.

Totally pushy saleswoman…run Cathy run to the nearest exit and don’t look back. She probably has something a lot better in her closet already. I hate pushy salespeople!! She should strip all that nonsense off in a puddle on the floor, get her own clothes back on and say Thanks, but no!! and get out of there.

I agree with that. With all the clothes Cathy has bought, seems she could put together an outfit to wear. Unless she has no fashion abilities. Maybe that’s why she is always in the mall,so the saleswomen can tell her what to wear.

Considering how much Cathy hates bathing suit season, she’s probably ready for cooler weather and clothes that cover more. But that ensemble is over the top for September, and surely Cathy won’t “fall” for the sales pitch. Good day to the Cathy clan.

Like my Jettas, I buy my clothes at very trusted stores in person or online. I guess “online” wasn’t Cathy’s way. Gotta have that adorable Sales Lady Mall Experience. [shudder]
mollie05 Glad to help out. Aaron used to tease with just a pic but folks loved that he actually started putting in a link to the recipe. Right Mom! ? :-D
LMB and I played soccer with GWU friends tonight. He scored a goal while I distracted everyone. It was for the other team, the little traitor. On purpose too. Little guy is too smart for my own good. :-D G’nite all.

Hi Cathyites!! Oh, so that’s where the term “hot” came from. Don’tcha just love trying on winter clothes in August? (Not to mention bathing suits in February.)

Wow. THIS clerk certainly isn’t a nut-job. [Eye-roll]
Considering the people our comic Cathy spends time with, it’s no wonder she’s so far off the deep end!

My wife was once a sales clerk in a chain clothing store in the local mall. She had a monthly quota of how many ‘extra’ items she had to push on customers above what they actually picked out to purchase. She stayed there only long enough to find another job! Shows that the strip is not that far fetched – exaggerated a bit but . . . Have a good weekend fellow Cathyites. I know it is early but we are heading out tomorrow for an extra long weekend to visit Micky and Minnie at their home in Orlando. I’ll catch up on the comments next Wednesday. Just checked the weather forecast for Disney World. I think the water park add-on to the park ticket is a must! Calling for 32C feels like 40C. That is my skin’s melting temperature!
