Dear Abby??

[Evil Queen]

Here's mine.

Dear Abby
In response to Nicki in Maryland (March 23rd). Abby I would be ashamed to admit to anyone in public that you write for a advice column. You say it's okay to tell people not to touch you if you're pregnant, if you're growing out a pony tail for a good cause to ask people to stop tugging their hair, to leave service animals to their jobs and you have the audacity to tell this lovely person to suck it up or quit? Dear lady, your advice was faulty. At the very least you could have offered a polite way of requesting customers not to touch her. Loosing a single customer will not hurt any business because it's just that. ONE customer.
You shame other advice givers with such nonsense. How can you be so cruel?

Yeah, so I've been MIA for about a month now. I don't read Dear Abby so I had no idea that this stupid lady is out there giving people bad advice. I sent a letter as well.

But she may lose the store a customer!

Oh noooes~! *gasp!*

Think maybe she's read some responses?

She still hasn't redeemed herself yet.

Oh, and that letter? Has to be fake, no one recently and happily married would even consider screwing that over for money. Unless they are a gold digger or something.

One of today's letters:

DEAR ABBY: I'm in my 20s and work as a cashier in a convenience store. One of my regulars recently won the lottery.

I am newly married and have a 7-month-old. We live with my in-laws, and we're dying to get our own place.

The lottery winner is somewhat good-looking, but about 20 years older than I am. Abby, he propositioned me -- if you know what I mean. He offered a large sum of money, which would help my family get our own place.

I'm confused. What do I do? -- DESPERATELY SEEKING MY OWN PLACE IN TEXAS

DEAR DESPERATELY SEEKING: You're not confused; your customer is. He may have won the lottery, but he's a loser. You are a cashier, not a prostitute. Tell him there are some things money can't buy -- and one of them is YOU.


Think maybe she's read some responses?

Nothing yet. I'm keeping an eye on it.

[TryNotToBeThatOne]

I'm curious if anything has been seen/said yet.

and I saw this (comic strip) & it made me think of the article.

Has anyone thought of sending a flood of complaints to Abby's BOSS???? Might get you a faster response..... Just wondering.

How do we get to Abby's boss?

Today's letter was in reference to Feb 7th.

So the message here is: don't grab somebody's ponytail. It is inappropriate.

However, feel free to approach somebody working in a store and wearing the company uniform and nametag, and just grope them as much as you like. If they tell you off, they will be losing a customer and that is not recommended.

Dear Abby: Stuck on Stupid.
