Sheesh this place is hot! Will someone finally turn the air conditioning on?! I hope the sunscreen is on sale.

Oooooooooo, puppy <3 <3 <3!!!!!! I love puppies!!! I love all animals!! Well, except the fish. They are slimy. Ewww!

Here, Sparky! Come to mommy!

Oooww, it bit me! It bit me!! Is that blood?! Ohmygod I can't stand blood! Especially not my own! Down, Sparky! Down!

Heeeelp! Will someone please put a leash on him?!!

Whew. I think he went away. Okay, the coast is clear.

These local dog owners should really train their puppies better. I wonder where that puppy's master was anyways? I'll have to give him a stern lecture on animal cruelty and ethical training methods when I find him.

Finally! The proverbial oasis of consumption! The veritable paradise of slashed prices! The Elysian field of 100%-ethical-and-globally-conscious-customer-choices! 75 % discounts, here I come!

Okay, I know how it is with the sales. The queue must be miles long by this time of the day already. I'd better go in carefully and see where I could slip in...

...Unnoticed????

Oh...oh dear...

They must have started already. This poor fellow was trampled to death!

Huh? That's pretty clever. I've never thought of passing the queue by reversing gravity. Seems he got caught for breaking the laws of physics, though. Must still note that for myself.

This changes things.

My adversaries are obviously seasoned veterans of the sales wars.

I may have to change tactics to overcome them. I may have to go against some of my basic principles...

...for values even more precious than those.

My wardrobe depends on it!!!

Good thing I have this toy pistol with me, so I can spook them. Okay, here goes nothing.
