Now people, it is the silly season. But you don’t have to run around like irrational impatient people looking at stores for things that they don’t have anymore. After all, it’s only two weeks till Christmas, and stores don’t have manufacturing warehouses out behind them. The clerk or the salesperson working in the stores has no ability to get more stuff from other places except where they work. I’ll cut them some slack, they’re doing their best. After all they have families too. They have family and children too. I’m looking for the same thing you are for hours and sometimes even when the stores have it staff members are not allowed to buy it first even if they see it first. So the next time you go into a grocery store or department store, it would be nice if you could say to these people “you are doing a good job,” and smile. After all, they have to put up with this 12 hours a day where some might only have to shop for an hour. And keep in mind you don’t have to listen to Christmas music 24 hours a day.

12 hours a day in retail? Wow, someone took a wrong turn in life and derailed. It’s never too late to ask Santa for a life.
Santa = Satan.
Happy Kwanzaa!
I find it offensive that N0_F00L is disparaging and discriminating against the holiday I choose to celebrate this holiday season.
OB: what if they AREN’T doing a good job? Do I still have to say it, then? #notallcashiers
Petty, Do you celebrate the holiday of Santa Clause? I’m not discriminating against Christmas or Baby Jesus. I am simply enlightening your azz about Satan Claws.

CUT ME SOME SLACK TOO
“I’ll cut them some slack, they’re doing their best. After all they have families too. They have family and children too.” Santa helper
Is some sort of conceptual distinction being made here between “families too” on the one hand and “families with children too” on the other? Doesn’t the latter necessarily entail the former? Or is it the other way around? Maybe Santa helper can cut me some slack too.

A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!
Wait! Girls don’t like blow jobs? Jesus! Gettin’ me some real hetero edmucashun this week!
What you should expect from the general public: zip, zilch, double-knot zero. Anything above that is a bonus.
Okay, hands up…how many people didn’t know that Christmas arrives every year on December 25th?
People have had almost a whole YEAR to prepare for this day but most leave it to the last 3 weeks to do anything about it.
Wouldn’t it be better to buy stuff -excluding festive groceries, natch- before the rush and the horrid Christmas music starts?
Who the hell has time to sit in mall line-ups of traffic for 1/2 an hour just to cruise the lot for another 15 minutes looking for a parking space. Checkout lineups aren’t much better. Would rather be relaxing with a hot cuppa at home with my feet up, admiring the stash of already wrapped gifts.
HAPPY STRESSMAS EVERYONE!
Oceanchick, I couldn’t have said it better.
10 points for Gryffindor….or rather, Oceanchick!
Online shopping =)
Yeah, I tried online shopping this year, shoe_chick. I placed an order ages ago with a large retailer and stupidly chose home delivery. The numb nuts putting my order in gave me the wrong delivery date then put the wrong apartment number on the package so canada post sent it back to sender, today.
I’ve been on the phone for the past 40 minutes on hold trying to get the retailer to fix this fuck up, but I doubt it’s gonna happen. So now I have to call my bank and dispute the charges on my visa debit, which takes I don’t know how fucking long. I don’t have any extra coin to make up for this fuck up.
Anddddd they just hung up on me.
THE POINT SYSTEM AT HOGWART’S IS CURRUPT AT WORST AND ARBITRARY AT BEST, SCOOTER!

I see my opinion was a little strong to remain…
it remains none-the-less unchanged.
My gift giving is limited to a select few categories:
Books and/or Wine and/or Chocolate (or some combination of the three.) One very lucky person also gets Art Supplies.
Makes my shopping fun and easy, and the recipients are happy as well.
