Not quite "ruining Easter," but close

[Pixelated]

Again, a "hearing" rather than a "sighting."

I stopped briefly at my favourite chocolate store the other day to see what I could pick up (they have bags of "not quite perfect" chocolates that they sell for discount prices ).

Cashier was telling me about an SC who came looking for some of their dark chocolate bunnies, which they started carrying a couple of weeks ago.

And are now completely out of.

You can write the rest of this yourselves, I'm sure ...

Whiny SC: "But ... you're getting more, right?"

Cashier: "No ... Easter's just a few days away, so what we've got is all we're getting." (in terms of Easter candy anyway)

WSC: "But (recipient) will be SO disappointed! She REALLY wanted one of these!"

Cashier: *same spiel*

WSC: "But ... but ... what am I going to tell her??"

Cashier: *lather, rinse, repeat*

WSC: "But ... but ...."

Ultimately WSC left, but not before trying to launch a few more guilt-trip arrows at the cashier, who managed not to roll her eyes.

At least until after the WSC had left.

What is she going to do? Why, I suppose she'll have to go somewhere else! Oh, the horror!!

[Pixelated]

That is not an option, alas ... at least, not if WSC is looking for the same item for the recipient. This store is the sole and only one of that name in this city.

Maybe, WSC, next time you could buy something that "recipient" would like WHEN IT'S AVAILABLE.

It's funny, I don't really pay attention to when Easter is, but even I've noticed that stores have been buried in Easter merchandise for weeks and weeks now. I'm just waiting until after, when the candy goes on clearance. Typical SC, to not even consider the thought that they can't get what they want.

WSC needs to listen to a certain song by the Rolling Stones. Their records are in stock, so she CAN get one.

Pixelated, are you asking the SC to actually think and PLAN AHEAD? This won't end well...

Maintenance at Evans and Sutherland had a restroom closed... and their radio was playing that as I passed!

Come sing with me, you all know the words: "Failure to plan on your part does not make it an emergency on my part!"

that's the only holiday during the tax season when my mega chain closes. Looking forward to the day off before crazy time

Yeah, but she'd probably pick the wrong Rolling Stones song...

Instead of picking this song, she would probably pick this one instead.

[Pixelated]

Pun definitely intended.

Oh I know she can't get THAT EXACT ITEM somewhere else, but she could find something else, and who knows, maybe she'd learn something about planning ahead.

I doubt it, but we can dream...

Regarding the OP, the customer could have been told, "Well, I can't pull a chocolate rabbit out of an empty tomb."

Oh, there's still buckets of Easter candy everywhere ... probably even including the local dollar stores, which usually run out first. Even "my" chocolate shop still had some Easter stuff.

But of course it was this particular item that the recipient so desperately wanted ...

Regarding the OP, the customer could have been told, "Well, I can't pull a chocolate rabbit out of an empty tomb."

That would totally be worth getting fired for.

"What do you want me to do? Pull the chocolate out of my ass?"
