So she was stealing their money. Very unethical. She'll probably go far in corporate America.

"oy, where's my change?" "What change?" "For the money I gave you" "Besides payment for your 10 Dollar Lemonade special offer, I didn't get any." "But the sign says 1,50!" 1And a nice day to you, too" "Wait! I want my..." "I said: A nice day, Sir."

Charge enough you don't have to worry about repeat customers or word of mouth. Seems the big companies learned this already.

Even the sketches from up north are presented sadly and a tad depressing

This reminds me of how in the Shire, “Good morning” is a form of goodbye. Just shows what homebodies the hobbits are.
