It's finally going to happen, I hope!

In a few hours the strip will update and we'll see what Marla's going to do. From the other comments I've seen, I'm kinda scared she will assault him.

What do you guys think?

And he's OUTTA HERE!

Just wait until Stuart gets wind of this.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

It has officially been lost....and I love it!

What she said. Somehow I doubt this is the end of this.

[Caffienated_Caramel]

I think in the next strip, Val will talk to her to see what happened.

[Tama]

Actually, Stuart supported firing him. He just didn't think it wise to do so during the holiday season.

[Kit-Ginevra]

I shall say it again.Josh creates any problems-send in Lunker..... all that will be found is a few mysterious bones a couple of years later.
If only Marla could get her dream line up-Val and Amber,Coop,Donnie and Lunker-that would be superb.But that would be far too easy in Retailworld...

You have to have a villain, Kit.

Could you please show me the comic where it said so? I missed Retail since finding out that I have to pay to get digital access to The Toronto Star.

I can always bookmark the Retail Comic Strip site, though.

Stuart didn't exactly "support" firing Josh, but he didn't outright tell Marla not to, either: http://retailcomic.com/comics/october-31-2013/

That's why I see Mina coming in...one problem walks out the door-another one turns up...

Agreed. For narrative purposes you HAVE to have a bad guy, and then it becomes a case of 'be careful what you wish for'. Mina will be a lot worse than Josh!

At least now Marla has an idea of what she's getting into with Mina...hopefully she'll keep her guard up.

Anyone else having homicidal feelings toward the commenters who keep going on about "unlawful termination" or whatever? How many times does one have to point out that there is no law against firing someone when they give their two-week notice? In fact, it's very common for management to tell the employee that they have to leave immediately. Yet these yahoos keep saying "oh Josh is going to sue them!" Arrgh....

[Kit-Ginevra]

He's perfectly entitled to sue them...and he probably would do.Whether it gets flung out of court with a resounding cry of Idiot is another matter.
