Description so the idea for this one started with my constant increase of hatred towards Safeway.

They hired me back in December sometime and made it perfectly clear that my "unique" image had to go. In order to be hired I had to chop off a huge portion of my bangs, strip it clean of ALL 'un-natural' color, shave everyday and take my peircings out before every shift. I also had to wear black polishable work shoes, black grandpa-style pants, and have my shirt and uniform pressed and clean for my shift, with my hair combed neatly and out of my face.

Anyways yeah, this is my therapy in a sense. Being that I couldn't actually lash out or anything of that nature, I drew myself being as spooky and weird as I could. I dreamed of actually doing this at work on NUMEROUS occasions.

I'm too young to work but when I do get old enough I'll make sure to stay away from Safeway. Wayyy away.

It's actually kinda cute

thanks.

yeah, Safeway is pretty fantastic to shop at... but don't ever work for them, they're evil and dangerous and will ruin your schedules.

Damn, that sucks. Yeah, conforming to work regulations sucks ass. I don't know though; never worked. But I am trying hard to get a job. It's really difficult. D:

Nice job on the ink work, as usual. ^_^

Yeahhh........ You didn't take the job, did you? Don't ever be so desperate as to conform! :K I can't have piercings in at my work, but other than that, I push the rules as far as they go. People like that are bunk.

I sure did take the job. I have student loans to pay off, $200 a month rent, and about a bajillion dollars in long distance bills from calling Megan so much, so yeah... I needed whatever job I could get.

I don't have Safeway around where i live but that really sucks that they would tell you to do all that stuff to work there. i have friends who had to change their appearance for work related purpose and i just think its really stupid.

this drawing is fantastic though so im glad you got something positive out it. the colouring is really good especially the green slimy stuff (kinda grossing me out just a little but thats a good thing)...

if i was a manager at safeway i would be freaking out if i saw this coming out of the parking lot pushing shopping carts to get me

well as a whole, Safeway isn't that bad of a store. It's just working there that sucks.

Thanks though xD

Firstly...great drawing, I like your style very much And secondly...yeah safeway is pretty much a den of bland awfulness....I used to work 3-midnight shifts there at the cash booth and get to deal with all the picky customers doing western unions and then the stinky drunks later...truly wonderful heh. glad someone else shares my feelings towards them
