The Customer Is Always Wrong

The Customer Is Always Wrong by Mimi Pond, 445 pages.

I didn't know that this was the second volume of a fictionalized graphic lit memoir that Pond had written, following 2014's Over Easy.
Madge works at an Oakland diner, the Imperial Cafe. She works with a fair number of crazy people, people with drug problems, relationship problems, and just general problems in their lives. Her relationship with Bryan, a customer with whom she falls in love, ends badly, and her plan to save up money to move to New York, hits a few bumps. The art is engaging, the characters are all very interesting, and the story is well-told.
I look forward to reading the first volume.
