Yesterday was the worst day of the Christmas season

[downforit2008]

I finished all my Christmas shopping in October. Maybe these nutbags can grow a brain and be the same way and do their shopping early before the rush, or even earlier than October! But it seems like they want an excuse to bitch and complain to every Retail employee about how the employee ruined THEIR Christmas, and they're the ones shopping on Christmas Eve or close to it! Those customers ruined Christmas for themselves by waiting until the last minute, when every popular toy has already been sold long ago.

Try the Dollar Store to buy a toy there. Ha ha ha!

Or even complaining to the retail employee who is working CHRISTMAS DAY for their convenience that the selection is TOOOOOOOOOOOO picked over !!!!!!

She threw the shirt down because she shoplifted it. That's why she didn't go back to the original store.

It's kind of sad but this would have been my assumption too. I'm guessing she bought the same shirt at one store, but wanted to get a 2 for 1 sale.

Shirt girl was back yesterday demanding her shirt back and demanding a gift card b/c we ruined Christmas.


The manager in Elec said xbox man called 20 times yesterday looking foe a xbox.Again telling her everytine that I ruined Chrsitmas.


Dear Lord don't make me go to work in a few.

Did shirt lady get the shirt? Please I sure hope she did not get a card.

Xbox man needs to be laugh at - LOUDLY.

Christmas shoppers are the worst. Has no one heard of using Amazon to shop for Christmas?

I placed my Amazon orders on the 19th (I know, I know) and they all arrived before the 23rd. I do try not to leave it so late, but they got everything right & even gave me individual item deliveries (which normally cost extra) so I'll be happy to rely on them again in the future if required.

November for me, but yeah, that's the way I usually do it. Why put up with the horrorday crowds, or run the risk of having what I want out of stock?

And besides, a chance to review how much I'm spending and reconsider if I'm spending too much is just great. Can you imagine trying to do that at a cash register on Christmas Eve? The mindless crowd in line behind you would flambe you.

No she didnt get a gift card. She was told again that we cant help her.

I must have the magic touch or something...when I was in Hot Topic trying on a shirt many years ago, the ink tag managed to get caught in my hair and I simply yanked it until it came loose (because I didn't know it was full of ink). The tag stayed in my hair - without so much as shedding a drop of ink - and there was a tiny little hole in the shirt collar, and that was all.

The cashier seemed in awe that, accidentally or not, I managed to remove the ink tag without making a mess. I did it again - also on accident a couple years later. It's not easy approaching a store employee when you've got merchandise in one hand and an ink tag in the other and trying to explain that you are NOT a shoplifter.

Yah, methinks it's pretty obvious you've shoplifted something if you have it outside the store with the ink tag still clinging to it. I can't imagine why you wouldn't want to help her steal something.

I don't do my Christmas shopping til December; it's a money thing. The sales all start in December round where I am, and I can buy three for twos. I don't, however, leave it til the last possible day and I certainly don't scream at shop staff.

A few years ago my husband bought me a coat from Burlington Coat Factory for Christmas and they didn't remove the alarm thing. No alarms went off when he left the store. He got most of it off at home but the 1st time I wore it into work the alarms went off when I went thru the door ( No, I don't work at Burlington) but never again after that.

Did shirt lady get the shirt? Please I sure hope she did not get a card.

On the contrary, she definitely should have been given a card (at "check-in" time, with her "guest" number on it in big digits, to hold as she was photographed from the front and side simultaneously).

I used to have a woman like that.

She'd come in late in the afternoon Christmas Eve, or just before we closed, and ask us all where all the things on her son's Christmas list were.

Of course, most, if not all the items were hot toys and games that we were sold out of. So she'd just get herself all worked up. "My son is going to be so disappointed, oh nooooooooooo!"

She was kinda sorta mental. She worked at a meat processing plant in town, and had a habit of pulling out her own hair. Thus I steered clear of that particular company's meat products.

Something that I've caught myself doing a couple of times is running late for work through my own negligence and stupidity, and if that's compounded with getting behind a slow driver on the turnpike, well...

It's a great way to dodge responsibility for your own poor planning. You may have overslept the clock, burnt the toast, or spent the morning playing video games, but it's all THAT guy's fault, there!

I think the same thing is happening here. You combine someone's poor planning and research with the availability of a scapegoat, and suddenly everything that goes wrong that season, from burning the gingerbread to setting the tree on fire, is the fault of the guy who can't get you this year's Tickle Me Elmo because they sold out on Black Friday and the factory in Asia isn't shipping more until Valentine's Day.

We all succumb to sparks of occasional immaturity. Some have raging infernos instead.

I had someone upset yesterday because we didn't have Justin Bieber's Christmas CD. Well, maybe if you hadn't waited until the week after it might have been there.
