Guy in hat: Hi, is this the shop that sells cursed items but when you try to return them the shop is gone?
Phone: Yes, how can I help you?
Guy in hat: Do you do curbside pickup? I wanted to buy a cursed amulet that angers ghosts and some groceries.
Phone: No, but it's ok, we wear masks.
Guy in hat: So you can't bring stuff out?
Phone: I'm afraid not
Guy in hat: But it's so stuffy in there!
Phone: Why not think of the virus as part of the amulet's curse?
Guy in hat: Excuse me!? I'm trying to buy some bread and do battle with ghosts, not endanger my family and friends in a pandemic! I will take my business elsewhere.

A possible xkcd universe? Are there any other in universe references? 172.69.35.119 23:25, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
Is this the first time we've seen Beret Guy actually angry? 108.162.210.170 02:03, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
- I can think of at least one other time: 559: No Pun Intended BlackHat (talk) 16:28, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
Please don't be childish, everyone. (Talking to someone else)
Beret Guy was probably angry in https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/677:_Asshole. 172.69.34.198 16:26, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
I like how Beret guy is trying to get the shop owner to remove a cursed object from the shop... which would probably forever separate the shop owner from his shop & stick the shop owner with the cursed object.
Does the title text actually imply that people are getting COVID at the shop? It says outright that contract tracers are going in, yes, but..? BunsenH (talk) 04:35, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
I don't believe that the comic needs any more explanation. Does anyone else think otherwise? BlackHat (talk) 18:55, 21 November 2020 (UTC)

I think it should be noted somewhere that this is beret guy's only use of "!?" and also arguably the time his motives are most understandable β also, can his mother even catch covid with her plutonium heart?

"It is also unclear why Beret Guy specifically wants to anger the ghosts."
psychological warfare, perchance? Caliban (talk) 12:49, 11 October 2024 (UTC) Add comment
