Another Christmas ruined...

[Lace Neil Singer]

All cuz I refused to allow a customer to come in after closing time. How does that ruin Christmas, you ask? Well, apparently she only wanted to come in and buy Christmas chocolate, and cuz I wouldn't let her come in after closing time, that ruined her Christmas.



It's only the middle of December. There's still plenty of time for her to buy Christmas chocolate!

Holy shit, if they are this insane in mid december, they are going to be fucking bat shit by the 24th.

Lucky for me, I'm not down to work Christmas Eve. I also plan to ignore my phone if work rings. Which it probably will, cuz every year there's always at least one work colleague suffering from severe skiveitis who calls in sick, meaning that management call up the people who are off to try and guilt them into coming in. Well, I've worked loads of Christmas Eves, so on the rare occasion that it lands on my day off, I'm not coming in. XD

HOW COULD YOU!!! You're heartless and cruel.

HOW COULD YOU!!! You're heartless and cruel.

No kidding....Way to go!!

[Soulstealer]

Don't you work at a petrol station that's part of a supermarket? Wouldn't it be cheaper to go in there when they're open?

You mean you didn't stand there and eat all of it right in front of her?

Congratulations on ruining somebody's Christmas ... nearly two weeks ahead of the actual day!

Lucky for me, I'm not down to work Christmas Eve.

I am ... BUT ... only for four hours and only two of those will be with customers! The remainder of the time will be spent setting up for the Boxing Day batshit craziness ... and I am also not scheduled for that day!

My Main Job is closing down for a couple of days, of course, as many offices do. I haven't told Retail Job and probably won't. Yes, I could use the extra cash. But I could also use the time off.

Channeling retail manager: What do you mean your main job is closing down for a couple of days? We're not closing down - and THIS is your main job. Even though your other job pays more per hour, and gives you benefits and more hours than we do, WE are your highest priority.

[EricKei]

WE are your highest priority.

Thanks, man. I needed a good laugh

Definitely a at that one ... although Main Job actually offers NO benefits. it's a one-man office; there's not a whole lotta $$ flowing through (my paycheque is just that: a PAPER CHEQUE. When's the last time you saw one of those??) That's the irony: I was trying to work 20 hours per week long enough at Retail to get some benefits there ... then office job came along and whoosh, there went my 20 hours a week at retail. But the office job pays $2 more an hour than the retail, and the hours are steady, and the hours won't plummet through the floor after Christmas, and that's what I went to college for, sooooo ...

Did they just happen to buy some weirdly colored jelly beans in snack boxes from a tall red haired person who runs a joke shop?????

[wolfie]

And when they complained "These jellybeans taste like shit!", did the vendor tell them to read the box - which DID say "Every flavour".

Note to Yanks: The shop in question is located in England, so naturally "flavour" would be spelled in the British (i.e. correct) manner.

[dalesys]

... "flavour" ...

That's what you get for spelling with a crocked wand...

Ha ha ha ha...

A co-worker of mine is from England. He likes to joke (regarding United States English) that: "There's English, and there's wrong".
