  • The Christmas Hag

    This particular SC is well known for coming into either the supermarket or petrol station and asking a random employee the same stupid question. The exchange will generally go as follows:

    SC: *stops random employee, usually when they're doing something important/helping another customer/trying to go on break* What time do you open Christmas Day?

    Random Employee: Um, we're closed Christmas Day.

    This will provoke a massive strop of such frightening intensity, you'd think that someone had just kicked the Christmas Hag's puppy. O_o Yes, she does this every year around this time. She is either a) suffering from short term memory loss, b) trapped in Groundhog Day and forced to repeat the same actions over and over or c) batshit insane. Me, I'm leaning towards the third option. It's amazing that she hasn't been banned yet. O_o

    Probably holds the opinion that if enough people ask, eventually management will decide that the drones don't deserve that solitary day off each year...

      Well gosh, I can't imagine why you wouldn't want to give up your Christmas to stay open for a sweet, genteel viper like her.

        Do you think she makes a day of it? Gets dressed in her favorite "bitch" outfit, puts on her Superbitch make-up, practices throwing a tantrum over something that most people already know and don't care about? Might be her only entertainment, something she looks forward to every year.

          Gosh, isn't doing the same thing over and over while expecting different results a textbook example of being batsh*t crazy?

          I'm actually agreeing with Mooncat, she just enjoys throwing a fit over unimportant stuff to someone who can't call her out to make herself feel just a little more powerful.

          See? Batsh*t crazy.

            She must not have anywhere to go/anything to do on Christmas day. It's sad, actually.

              Sad? Hardly. It seems perfectly clear to me WHY she has nowhere to go on Christmas Day. Who'd want that dribbling acid all over their nice holiday decorations and goodies?

                sounds like the name of a cryptoid.

                be warned, if ye be closed on christmas day never tell anyone lest ye run into the christmas hag, she will suck any positive feelings from you.

                      Just remember: Even if the manglement DOES decide to open up on XMAS day, this will NOT in any way oblige her to actually show up and buy stuff. If anything, she'll probably start complaining about the cruelty of the owners making you all work that day...

                              I seem to ruin Christmas earlier and earlier every year. XD Next year, I'll probably ruin a Christmas two days after.

                              There's no way that we'd ever open on Christmas Day, as the union would kick up a stink if it was even suggested, so I'm agreeing that the SC is probably batshit insane and coming in to ask the question is her only pleasure in life.
