csquared -- That's what I was thinking earlier. I gave up after a few minutes of Searching. If you feel up to it, the Search no longer has the "first 100 hits only" limit on there, so...

It might not be a CS record, but XCashier still gets lots of cookies and booze for being the first THIS year!
edited because that part was too much of a downer. And to add that I once watched a meltdown when a woman brought a ring in to a jewelry store to be resized the day before the wedding. That poor jeweler ruined their entire marriage.
Honestly it's old and boring now. I was working at a inbound call-center for infomercials and on like my third week I received a call from a woman who wanted to sign up her friend to the makeup product we did calls for as a gift. Problem was she didn't want the shipments to start until December (again this was like April) and she wanted to ship to I believe Italy.
Problem one: we can't ship international, it took finangeling to just get to ship to army bases.
Problem two: even though the deal for this infomercial hadn't changed in two years the company could decide tomorrow to change it thus orders with future dates were impossible.
Problem three: call was around 4 am my time 3 am her time and I was sure she was drunk.
So I explain the problems except 3, 3 was for me, and the woman explodes.
I give her all options from waiting until closer to December to order to going online or A retail location to purchase she ain't having any of it. Since i was new and she wasn't that bad I let her yell at me a bit (unlike the guy who tried to use the line as a phone sex line) and when she realized I wasn't going to cave she screamed "you ruined my Christmas bitch" and hung up. I shock my head ready out and went to queue with a second thought.
I remember back in the mists of time someone posted a story about an SC screaming "Ruined Xmas" (11+ months away at that) in early January/late December during the after Xmas/New Year clearance sale rush.
Now if someone can find that post I believe that would be the ultimate record holder.

Well, a few stores have a little bit of Christmas stuff out (depressingly, only two days after I expected it), and I've not heard any Christmas music on the radio or mixed into store muzak, but we already have a ruined Christmas. Part of me wants wants to ring in Christmas with joy and part of me is rather loudly screaming "NO NOT YET!". I was sarcastically expecting full Christmas everywhere the day after Halloween, but now that I'm starting to see more trappings of it it just feels empty somehow, like it's just can't start yet.
Just stay out of the "workplace memes" thread. Please. I mean it.
RM - That's probably what I was thinking of. I could have sworn I saw one early this year.
AK - I'll allow it ^_^

The bakery has been out of pumpkin pies for the last two months because corporate has been putting them on and off a recall list, so we either are allowed to sell them or we have to hurry and get rid of every pumpkin pie before they get sold. Naturally a lot of customers are upset that we don't know when we're getting them back in, if we are, but generally they aren't upset enough to throw a hissy fit over. Save for one guy.
Customer came in a few days before Halloween and asked for pumpkin pies, I told him that we're out until further notice. He didn't like the explanation that they were on recall, threw a fit over it, and told me that I'd ruined his Thanksgiving and that he hoped that I was happy.
Eh, one day I'll have something useful here. Until then, have a cookie or two.

Of-course you are happy, you are happy because he is alive in-front of you instead of dead from something you sold him.

Ummm, one would think between Halloween and Thanksgiving you would get more pies in.
Guy sounds like a pompous self-centered jackass...
