    March ehe. I thought it was somewhere around August.

    Nobody's complained about me saying happy holidays yet, but if they say merry christmas I either say it back or say 'you too.'

      So as a follow up:

      Apparently this is a website out there somewhere for people like my oh-so-cheery SC to report retailers that fail to say Merry Christmas or who say Happy Holidays instead. I got to have a nice long chat with my manager because, surprise surprise, the SC reported me, thus reporting the whole chain of Ac Mike Ann's. which means that this lovely website lists us among the shops to boycott.

      yeah corp was none too pleased with this. I got to keep my job because the other cashiers who witnessed it verified that I had in fact apologized to the man and he got unpleasant first. Thank the powers that be the x-mas season is over and I don't have to go back to work until the 10th.
      Me to a friend: I know I'm crazy, you know I'm crazy, the zombies at the end of the world will know I'm crazy. Thus not eating my brain for fear of ingesting the crazy. It's my survival plan.

        And this is why I stick with "Have a nice day," even during the holidays.

        Yeah, it's completely soulless.
        "season's Greetings" it's the equivalent of "appropriate comment"(paraphrased from Jerry Seinfeld)-heck you could say it in summertime-summertime is a season, as are spring, winter and autm atun fall....
        Honestly.... the image of that in my head made me go "AWESOME!"..... and then I remembered I am terribly strange.-Red dazes

          ...umm... actually according to everything the US founding fathers laid down you live in a secular country with the right to religious freedom guaranteed in the bill of rights. We can start living under fundamentalist Christian law anytime you like but life will not be warm & fuzzy then... you'll enjoy Levitican law, especially the stonings & burnings. You'll long for the heady days of being able to cherry-pick from the tenets of your religion when state officials with guns are enforcing the whole fire-and-brimstone thing... prick.

          <sigh> I'd love to have the chance to say that...
          The cynic in me thinks that the FF believe there is freedom of religion for religions they are comfortable with, like any type of Christianity or Judism.

          Also, if Jesus was born in March, maybe he died on his birthday. Or could have resurected on his birthday.

          That guy is a shithole. As long as you are polite, who really gives a fig what you say? Fucking micromanager, probably bitches is a bank teller has long hair and an earing.

          Don't teach me a lesson; all I learn is that you are an asshole.

            Hmm... note to self: add 'season's greetings' to my repertoire of spring greetings... see who gets confused.

              I didn't bother with saying happy holidays or anything of the like unless a customer said it first. Who stuck a pine cone up this prick's ass?

                I have no idea but I wish I could have. the cinnamon scented ones were two steps away. Maybe it would have dislodged the stick

                  you live in a GOD DAMNED CHRISTIAN country
                  So nice of you to recognize that by ABUSING God's NAME. Oh, the hypocridiocy of it all....

                    Pardon but why the F**K do people need a website like that? "ZOMGZWTFBBQ11 THEY DON'T SAY MERRY CHRISTMAS ZOMG BOYCOTTZOMG" Really?? Ok we don't want you here ANYWAY. If that's all it takes we should say Happy Holidays to ALL the people we don't want to come back!

                      Yeah, it's completely soulless. But I haven't had anybody get in my face and snarl "What if I want to have a bad day, huh?" yet.
                      You haven't been around me when I'm having what I call a "Contrary Day."

                      This is where I would rather hear the opposite of what's considered "normal." So yeah, I would not mind hearing "Have a Crappy Day" as opposed to "Have a nice day."

                      I'd better stop here or I might find myself on some George Carlinesque rant about that phrase . . .

                        This year I decided to reply with "May the Force Be with You". Of course I pissed away any geek cred I had when I combined it with Spocks gesture.

                        No one gave me any problems.

                          And your own manager and corporate are idiots if they do fire someone over not saying merry christmas. Not unless they enjoy being targets of a lawsuit.

                          Those kinds of people tend to hate Jews too. Apparently we reject Christ as our saviour or something.

                            Christ-killers to be precise. I was raised fundamentalist. I don't believe that anymore. I'm wiccan now.
