  • 118
101 Frittte clerk "Yeah, they're kind of boring, but, you know..." She never finishes the sentence.
  • 107

141 Encyclopedia The story goes that normal Fritte with two T-s (a men's workwear shop in Vredefort) was already taken, so when Fritte Retail, Inc. grew into a multinational corporation they had to add an extra letter to avoid trademark infringement.

158 Frittte clerk "Yeah, like two thousand or so." She says it as if it's completely natural.
  • 159
159 You "But why would Frittte need an army? It's just a corner shop."
  • 160
160 Frittte clerk "I dunno." She shrugs. "It stops people from robbing Frittte, I guess? If they know there's an army, I mean... I wouldn't want to fuck with them, anyway."
  • 194
161 You "Yeah, good point... Actually, I had other questions as well."
