We ruined easter!

[smileyeagle1021]

Hey I just ruined someone's Easter... I told them that we didn't offer an hourly rate at any of our hotels (except for the meeting rooms which must be booked by a onsite sales manager... but that's beside the point)... and I ruined easter because they wanted a "romantic evening"... uhuh...

Apparently as a bag boy i ruined an anniversry Dude if your looking for high end champagne dont come to the grocercy store

Anyway, on Thursday we ran out of chocolate bunnies. We still had three kinds of easter eggs.

I hate that. I really like it when stores overstock on holliday related candy, then I can get really good deals the day after.

What really sucks is that Jewish Zombie Day (AKA Easter) is the last candy themed holliday until Halloween (In the U.S. anyway).

Oooooooooooh. Please invite me over.

My wife is insanely allergic to tobacco fumes and synthetic fragrances. If you're good in both those departments, come on over. We're in Ohio.

lol, I had a bunch of people pissed today because we ran out of the Cadberry creme eggs. TO BAD! You should've thought about that before now!

Why do they think that coming it at the last possible second will work for them?

hawkchick11, does it specifically say "to get it delivered on Saturday, you have to choose the Saturday delivery option", or do you kinda have to guess at it?

Hmmmmmmmmm. I'm not a perfume type of person (I'm so low maintenence it can be depressing...) and I can go without smokey treats for cinnamon rolls. Yes, I can.

My store ran out of jelly beans Saturday morning. No plain, no all-black, no Starburst, no Jelly Belly (unless you want to get the individual packs in the check lanes), no speckled, no...who else makes them...Lifesavers, I think?

The looks of confusion and shock I got were priceless. "How...how can you be out of jelly beans??"

[mariamousie1]

I was wondering why my easter sucked...turns out it was you??? Why didn't anyone tell me?

[hawkchick11]

hawkchick11, does it specifically say "to get it delivered on Saturday, you have to choose the Saturday delivery option", or do you kinda have to guess at it?

Yes, it states to get your order delivered on Saturday, you need to select the Saturday delivery option, and place your order before noon PST on Friday.

They placed their order about 945 pm PST.

I swear most of our customers don't read.. and they don't understand the concept of business days.

It gets better... today I ruined Easter (by being out of bunnies), a birthday (by not having any freshly-picked-that-morning flowers, we still have flower boquets but they're a couple of days old) and lunch (by being next door to a chicken shop that closed for Easter).

This all reminds me of a "Tina's Groove" comic strip I saw once. I can't find it anywhere online, so I'll describe it to you.

For anyone who isn't familiar with this strip, Tina is a server at a little restaurant.

T=Tina
SC=You know what

T: What can I get for you today?
SC: I'd just like a piece of cheesecake.
T: Oh, I'm sorry, we're actually out of cheesecake right now.
SC: What?! OUT of CHEESECAKE??!! How can you be OUT of CHEESECAKE?!?!?! I came here specifically for the CHEESECAKE!!! I demand my cheesecake NOW!
A dream sequence starts at this point.
T: Congratulations! You've just won the Who-Can-Throw-The-Biggest-Fit-About-The-Cheesecake Contest! We were testing people's responses to our cheesecake outage, and you threw the BIGGEST fit, so you WON! As our winner, you are now privy to our secret underground vault of cheesecake that we hide away from all our other customers. And it's all for you, because you threw a fit!
End of dream sequence.
SC: Hello? Earth to waitress!!

One of my co-workers used to say, "What do they expect me to do, genie-poof them their [insert item you don't have] out of the air?"

[Geek King]

You ruined Easter?

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

You guys are lucky. I only get to ruin Arbor Day.

Speaking of anniversaries...one of my parental units *forgot* his anniversary, and ended up taking my mother to McDonald's for dinner Let me tell you, she was *seriously* pissed! How he didn't lose um, valuable parts of his anatomy, I'll never know... He made it up later (dinner at a *very* expensive restaurant and a weekend at the spa), but he did learn his lesson

Getting back on topic, the reason those idiots claim that their holiday (or "experience" or whatever) is ruined, is simply because they're trying to blame someone else for the fact that they waited until the very last possible minute to buy their crap.

Take Christmas. People have several months to buy gifts. Yet, many idiots wait until December, or even the night before...and then bitch when everything's sold out. Some of us start our shopping on vacation (in July!) and have nearly all of it done by Thanksgiving. Do I go to shops after then? Nope, unless it's the hobby shop and I'm out of paint...or I want to stare at endless stacks of model kits

Ah...OK. Just making sure and all that good stuff.

I only get to ruin Arbor Day.

How do you do that? I might like to give it a try.
