To my knowledge, there are only two forms of pheromone transmission… aromas (smell) and tactile (touch).
Apparently, Dale has a third form of transmission or her aromic pheromones are quite powerful.
They appear to effect female and male humans.
I can understand the effect on males, but I am somewhat surprised of the effect on females.
I think I want to visit the twin cities now… just to visit the Mucho Mocho coffee shop.
That would probably work.
Re-reading Dale’s dialog, she inadvertently filled the room with her super-powerful (ultra super?) pheromones and added some involuntary visual/audio cues (giggling, fluttering eyelashes, ect).
This triggered the female’s competitive reproductive instants (not sure the scientific description would be, but how females compete for the most acceptable males).
Of course, the male was already been well induced by Dale’s pheromones to respond.
In fact, he was probably close to grabbing her before she spun around to “glomp”.
Something tells me these two will ‘get along’ quite well.
Until the ‘Dale Effect’ wears off. Then two strangers will either make friends or make enemies of each other depending on their real lives.
The most dangerous part is if one the other or both are married.
Somewhere in the wapsiverse, the owner of a porn studio weeps bitterly. “You don’t understand! We never needed a fluffer, nobody ever squicked, every shoot ran like it was prom night! We saved a fortune on vaseline and lube! It was amazing! And now she’s gone!”
She covered that, actually. Stigma against sex workers. Soon as she explained what “entertainment industry” meant on her resume, the prudes showed her the door.
WHERE DO I GO TO FIND THIS COFFEE SHOP??? lolol
You go to Minneapolis. When you find Wapsi Square, let me know. I’ll join you there.
When you find out…let me know. MY TREAT!
Well now you get to write that addendum to the manual. Let me know how it turns out…

Heck, if THIS (or anything close to it) had been in any managerial classes, that would have been a VERY comprehensive class.
Assuming it works by pheromones. I think it’s magic.
Well, given that Dale’s a succubus, and also a former porn star, it’s definitely magic.
In the GrrlPower-verse, it’s called “Lust Aura”, and it doesn’t care about the gender, or even species, of those caught in it
“Ice water?”
That would probably work.

I was quoting Tina in a previous strip, BTW.

Essential worker indeed!
Wow. Good thing it worked on the two of them, and neither one jumped on Dale.
I quite sure dale would know how to respond to THAT.
She’s just not sure how to handle NOT being put of the ‘scene’.
By the way, I think they know each other now.
Or are about to. Vigorously.
The question is, when will we get to meet them?
In the biblical sense . . .
For science !
And thus, Speed Dating Night at Much Mocha was renamed Whoopie Wednesdays.
More powerful than the Darkover “Ghost wind!”
Well…. that’s a tough nut to crack. What does one do in this situation outside of getting a hose?
Well, you might start with gentle use of a crowbar to get them separated…
I knew I was going to love her. Oh, and keep a spray bottle of water by the register.
Too many interview panels, not enough solo interviewers.
If the barista gig doesn’t work out, Dale should instead apply for a job at Cupid’s business…
I’ve never been glomped at the coffee shop…seems better than the run-of-the-mill macchiato
Dale the looove projector! (is she a Cupid or what?)
The Yelp review is going to be amazing.
Sadly, the new ‘couple’ aren’t named in the credits, so we may never know how things turn out?
I just noticed the board behind them. They sell “plain ol’ coffee.” Wow.
“Americano” without the pretentious name 🙂
$2:00 for 20 oz?
not a bad price.
Since I drink tea, but not coffee… I’m not truly sure.
Could be a nod to Becky’s very first appearance.

To paraphrase Sleepless in Seattle: “I’ll have what they’re having . . .”
Well done folks, so much Awesome…

Get this new employee a talisman!
