    You'd be surprised how many ladies either complain about only getting something 3'' in size...or complaining because they haven't even got that...

      We should start an official "Ruined Christmas" thread for all of these gems!

          How about a ruined holiday thread? Whatever holiday that was ruined could go in there.
          What do you mean you no longer have your ham sandwich lunch special? You ruined Ramadan!
          To right the countless wrongs of our days... We shine this light of true redemption, that this place may become as paradise...Oh, what a wonderful world such would be...

            I don't understand how that could ruin Ramadan. My understanding is:

            - Ramadan is a celebration by Muslims
            - During Ramadan, Muslims don't eat during daylight hours
            - At all times, Muslims don't eat pork products

            So how could the absence of a "can't eat it ever" special during a "can't eat anything right now" time ruin Ramadan?
            Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.

              SCs scamming for a discount, that's how.

              Oh, yeah, I forgot the part where someone threw a temper tantrum because, after we ran out of the 3" tall seedlings, we would not give them a full-sized sapling. They wanted their FREE TREE and stomped around huffing about false advertising.

                Congrats on ruining Christmas. Always satisfying. XD

                I've ruined more Christmases than I dare to count, including one year when, cuz I wouldn't let an SC in after closing time on Christmas Eve, I ruined not only her Christmas but her entire life.

                  Reading back over some of the replies, a thought strikes me, like a sledgehammer to the head. Why is it, when we enforce policy set by those much higher in the food chain than us, the we PERSONALLY have ruined Christmas, Thanksgiving, Arbor Day, Ramadan or Groundhog Day.

                  I understand the concept of the self-entitled, self-important, whiny, douchebag SC, but in reality, everyone knows that lowly wage slaves don't determine the rules. Maybe they figure that we won't enforce the policy if they personalize it? Maybe they really believe, in
                  their tiny little pea-brains that if they bitch, moan, whine & piss enough they'll get what they want? My two-year-old granddaughter is more mature.

                  Sorry, this is more a hypothetical muse than an actual question, but thoughts are welcome.

                    I wonder how many "Ruined Christmas" claims are going to happen because of the NES Mini...I saw one of them on an online auction site the other day for $1,500...no kidding.

                      Is it me, or don't Muslims don't eat ham? Or are they only allowed to eat it then?

                      I am so confused.

                        No, Muslims do not eat pork. It's considered an unclean animal.

                          Ummm, one would think between Halloween and Thanksgiving you would get more pies in.

                          There was a major pumpkin shortage a few years ago in the United States. Something about too much rain in the growing areas causing a lot of loss due to rot / drowned plants. Doesn't excuse the customer for being a donkey about it, but it does explain why they may not have had the pies during the season when you'd think they'd be overrun with them.

                            I spent years working for the government and I can tell you that, no, everyone doesn't know that.

                            See, those aren't really the rules (or the laws). You are just a petty tyrant who likes to throw your weight around. Saying "it's company policy" is a lie to make it look like you aren't just making up a rule on the spot because you like to see people suffer.

                            Besides, even if those are the rules, you, the lowly wage slave (or the bottom level government clerk), are misinterpreting them, no doubt because you are too lazy/stupid/megalomaniacal to learn how to do it right.

                              My favourite holiday-themed suck was the lady that wanted custom-fitted floor mats for her daughter's car on 12/23. She didn't know what type of car her daughter had. "It's a little car," she said. She wanted them to be "cute, " and kept telling me that I should be able to find one in our limited displayed stock of universal cut to fit floor mats that would fit perfectly by "look[ing] it up in a book." I guess I ruined her Christmas too.

                              Then there's the lady that bought everyone on her Christmas list an emergency hammer that would could cut a seatbelt and shatter a window. "Oh, thanks, Grandma. This will come in really handy the next time I'm in an accident so severe that I have to shatter a window to escape. I'm sure that it'll be close by and handy at that point."

                              I was an EMT for over 8 years, and never had to shatter a window to get someone out. If the accident was so severe that the door couldn't open, the window had already shattered in the impact. The only time I ever had to cut a seatbelt, the patient was already unconscious.

                                Plus, a lot of SCs don't seem to realise that trading laws are set in stone over here and breaking them can result in a staff member losing their job, or even a prosecution for the store if Trading Standards gets to hear of it. Not to mention the small fact that after an entire Christmas Eve spent working like crazy due to everyone leaving important tasks like buying food or filling their car for the Christmas relly-dash to the last minute, it's not surprising that lowly wage slaves just want to get out of the place as soon as possible. So yeah, I'm not about to let some cretinous SC in after closing time on Christmas Eve. Contrary to their beliefs, it's my bucking Christmas too.
