I was thinking about past Christmas gems, seeing as thanks to jury duty I get to miss a few days of the rush. XD Here are the best stories of Christmas past.
1. The sprout fight.
This was a classic; one bag of sprouts left, and two women were fighting for it. Right in front of the checkouts with every cashier and customer watching their little ding dong with baited breath. Eventually, the bag was pulled apart and sprouts flew everywhere, to be trampled underfoot.
2. The husband and wife fight.
Christmas was obviously too much for these people; they had a huge verbal fight at the checkout, ending with the husband getting a huge slap and the wife storming out. Let's hope she didn't drive off and leave him there.
3. "But, they're not here."
This is from the garden centre; this couple turned up just before I went to lunch on Christmas Eve to buy a rabbit. I had just two rabbits left for sale; an English and a Dutch. They wanted one of the Netherland Dwarfs which were all sold. I told them they couldn't have it, cuz another couple had reserved it and paid for it. "Yeah, but they're not here," said the man. I sighed and told them that the other couple had paid for it, so the rabbit was theirs and they could have one of the ones on sale or no rabbit at all. They declined saying they were heading down the road; I let them go, neglecting to mention that the store down the road had already run out of bunnies. XD
