We ruined easter!

[edible_hat]

My workplace is owned by a Muslim. So e didn't get much in the way of easter merchandise (it was the same with christmas, we only put up 3 decorations a week before, and they came down on boxing day).

Anyway, on Thursday we ran out of chocolate bunnies. We still had three kinds of easter eggs. But according to a couple of SCs, we ruined Easter.

That's OK, now I don't feel so bad...last week, I completely ruined someone's dining experience.

I can understand ruining a meal, but the whole experience? Her friends that were with her must not have meant much to her.

We don't have much easter candy left, except for a metric kilo-fuckton of "Easter corn"--candy corn in pastel colors that the buyer evidently decided would be THE hot Easter basket stuffer this year.

Everything else we have left was put on a power fixture in the middle of one of the main aisles. All day yesterday I had people asking me "Is this all the Easter candy you have left? Is this all the Easter candy you have left? Is this all the Easter candy you have left?"

I went to get some stuff at Publix last night, they still had a shitload of easter goodies left. I wonder how much more they'll have after tonight. I might just mosey over there and get a big ol' chocolate bunny! Nobody is too old to get easter candy!

Nods knowingly.

We had people calling up crying, throwing fits and blaming us for ruining Easter because we dared to stop taking floral orders and delivering them at 8 pm the night before Easter..

Traditions are wonderful things... when there's a point to them. I never saw the point of chocolate eggs*, beyond the basic fact that they're tastier than hard-boiled eggs. I still prefer the tradition we started in our house: fresh-baked cinnamon rolls made in the afternoon.

* Besides, for christians (especially the casual christians making their biannual pilgrimage to the inside of a church)— why do you want to get your kids hopped up on a chocolate high and then take them to church?

Do that many people do all their shopping at a Servo?
At least they sell I guess, I left a basket of small eggs on the counter for people yesterday due to how ridiculously busy it was, and well you'd think people would take free stuff (Hell they were even good eggs, not dollar store stuff) but no, we have heaps of them left.. I guess we can snack on them all Tuesday..

WOW your sucky customers aren't even able to drive to a different store to buy chocolate bunny rabbits at the last minute? However you may want to talk to your boss about this since not keeping at least a ton of peeps on hand is a mistake.

We went to three stores tonight looking for Easter baskets for the kidlets, but never once complained that the other two were out of stuff.

The kidlets got their baskets and I got my traditional stuffed bunny at the third store. Yes, my husband buys me a stuffed bunny every year for Easter along with some chocolate.

Anyone want to come see all the stuffed bunnies I have from over the years?

Why don't people...I don't know...PLAN AHEAD?

Oooooooooooh. Please invite me over.

A few months ago I wrote a poem about all the evil things that Customer Service workers are responsible for in the world, I'll have to dig it up and post it at some point.

Ahhh, all the christmases, easters, 4th of julys, birthdays (my personal favorite), weddings, and other major family functions I've ruined. Some may call us evil geniuses, but we're really just minimalists, deprive them of candy, film, cranberry sauce, the latest toy craze, or *gasp* close early on the holidays and you'll have them in tears in no time MWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAA!

To ruin everyone else's Easter.

I had a phone call last night about how I ruined someone's easter

They placed their order on Friday evening, selected overnight shipping and expected to get it Saturday. It doesn't work that way, you have to select Saturday shipping to get it Saturday, since thats the only way DHL will deliver it on Saturday. The cost for Saturday shipping = $35. And she would have gotten it next Saturday, cuz our warehouse was closed and we don't ship out orders over the weekend. She flat out told me she assumed she would get it on time It was still our fault though. She went on and on and on. I was even nice enough to see if her local store had it (which they did) so I could cancel her order and she would be able to pick it up from the store, after she told me she lived about 10 minutes away. Was that good enough?? Of course not, she "didn't feel like driving to the store." Well then don't complain to me cuz you couldn't figure out that ordering on Friday night for overnight delivery doesn't mean you'll get it Saturday.

I'm just glad I don't have to deal with these customers anymore, last night was my last shift as a personal shopper.

Ruining Easter, yeah I got that power too! But one man made me laugh, he ordered flowers for his dogs, his smelly old hound dogs got Easter flower arrangements.

You ruined Easter?

Bah, I've lost count of the number of times I've ruined Birthdays/Mother + Fathers days/Christmas.

Its generally uttered by people who have no prior preparation of the event that is about to occur.
