The one where Mike doesn't have his mind on the job.
Panel 1: As a generic senior citizen tries putting a cart away (this becomes important), Mike is thought-bubbling about the kink on Gordon's plan to have him and Rhetta go on a double date with him and Tracey: he doesn't even know her last name.
Panel 2: He isn't paying attention so thinks that the woman is trying to get the cart out when it finally occurs to him that Rhetta might not even be interested in him.
Panel 3: He makes a production of getting the cart out.....
Panel 4: ....only to have her tell him that she was trying to put it away.
Summary: The stupidity lingers on when a chance encounter leads to a stupid but telling assumption.
