> [@Harmonious\_Discord](#): > > At a discount store your expected to kiss ass and like it. Depends on the type of discount stoer. The thrift shops on Milwaukee Avenue run by any host of immigrants, are very rude. They seem to think everyone who enters their stores are out to steal them blind. And to be fair, perhaps that’s true, but I don’t want their bed bug ridden stuff anymore 🙂 ---

Collections agency. Ed Debevic’s waitress. Comedian. Webcomic writer. Author. Exotic dancer/stripper for hire. For the record, I think actual rudeness is despicable. Using “perceived-rudeness” for humor is ok though. ---

They work pro bono. The gender ratio in the kink-o-verse is pretty skewed, the (very few) dudes I’ve ever heard of who actually worked in that area had a fully-bewanged client group. – Like selling ice to an [del]Eskimo[/del] Inuit. A psychic [del]Eskimo[/del] Inuit who can shoot ice from his head. ---
