I don't want any toast.
He doesn't want any toast.
No one around here wants any toast.
Not now, not ever.
No toast.

My friend here wants some toast.
And I'll have 4 fried chickens and a coke!
neurocase:
I immediately stopped deleting my text messages when I came into the 21st century with a phone that doesn't have limited SMS capacity. Honestly, what's the point? It's tedious to delete the messages as they come, and it's served me well more than once to be able to scroll back through a conversation for details, or an amusing photo or some such, instead of asking for it again.
WRT the comic, no way are they moving in together. Clinton is still at school, living in the dorms, with a roommate. However, I wouldn't shy away from the betting odds that she somehow ends up staying with another member of the cast. If she ends up living with Clinton, that's just going to be completely trite. A newly-spun rehashing of the entire Marten/Faye storyline in its original days.

My question is why would you keep texts?

Not necessarily. And following that logic, do you make and keep recordings of all spoken conversations you have?
--- Quote ---why would you erase the messages as they come?
--- End quote ---
Because they have served their purpose and are now rubbish. Why would I want a six-month-past reminder of a dental appointment? Why would I keep a message from someone saying where they are waiting for me or that they are running late? I suppose that if I ever said or heard something genuinely important by text I might consider keeping it (probably by transferring it to some more suitable medium), but in nearly 20 years of mobile phone use that has never arisen.
Timemaster:
I donīt think the bar belongs belonged to mighty eyebrows girl. Her attitude is more like that of a clerk who doesnīt give a shit about his job beause she hates it anyway. But that leaves the question why she was living upstairs. Maybe she was living there anyway and only started working at the bar because thatīs incredibly convenient.
I donīt delete my texts either. But I used the old Android of my 16-year old daughter when my iPhone was damaged. And I found more than 3GB of old WhatsApp data in the memory. Mostly pictures and short videos. WA doesnīt automaticaly delete those unless you tell it to. So if you run out of memory (and I did) you should check the memory used by your messenger apps and maybe change the settings.

Yeah, it sounds as if there was a short circuit in the beer pumps that ignited a pool of spilt spirits. With all those accelerants lying around, a fire behind the bar would turn into an inferno in pretty short order.
So, now Barlady is jobless and homeless. Indeed, it is quite possible that she's lost absolutely everything that she owns except the clothes on her back and they probably aren't going to be in the best shape. If she is the owner/operator and the bar turns out to have been not up-to-code, then she may not get much, if anything, from her insurer. She is right to be in shock; she's starting utter destitution in the face. I'm wondering how she'll react when the shock wears off and reality hits home?
So, what next? I figure that Clinton will try to help her. Likely, he'll beg Marten and Claire to put her up on the couch fora night or two. Long term, she is going to need a lot of help to get back on her feet.

Some jobs come with a room. Barlady might also have doubled as 24-hour on-call cleaner, watch person and delivery receiver.
