Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I'm not getting it, does he check to see of he's dreaming because he directed him to a competitor? And then is polite because of it?
Yup, it's kinda the inverse of the usual shtick for the comic, where he attacks people doing things "he" thinks are socially unacceptable.
He's not just being polite but he made the conscious decision that this store is the one he wants to support because they were willing to lose revenue in order to help the customer.
The phrasing of the third panel confused me too, until I realized he already got the peaches he wanted (if not the right brand), they're on the counter, and he's now ordering MORE
I also wondered, so thanks for explaining it.
Yep
