Get the H Back In!

 :)
Payment made by hand    ANTE [per hand, that is]
Choice word    ELSE [not “I have some choice words for you!”]
Cuisine for Babe    SLOP [“cuisine” is perfect for a pig like Babe]
Theme: missing H yields a totally different expression
Do a Gap stockroom job?    SORTPANTS
Clothes dryer, so it’s said?   SOCKABSORBER
I enjoyed the variety --- from the arcane to the mundane:
A Votre SANTE to YALL
MEDEA to ERMA
AEOLIAN to MUPPET

 :o
MEDEA crossed by AEOLIAN
 ::)
AMANA appears more in Xwords than in stores.
 ???
All alternative   ANY [In what sense are they alternatives?]
Want ad abbr.   EEO [Isn’t that the office, the ad being EOE?]
 :D
Half a quarter?   ONEBIT [I don’t like this one bit; there’s no half quarter.]
