Are you the man that reeked of cigarettes and pot and came into a store Boxing Day, pointing to pictures on our wall and saying, “they’re Christians and they have you working here today?” If so, here’s a tip. Mind your own business, keep your mouth shut on other people’s work schedules (let alone their faith), and engage your (stoned) brain before you open your mouth. It’s 2014. You may make the assumption “they” are Christian based on a picture on the wall, but news flash: I’m not, so save the smug “merry christmas.” I hope you read this, and I dare you to come back and share your opinions with the owner, and not the young female you felt comfortable patronizing. I’m almost 30 years old, the manager, and no one “has” me working, nor are you entitled to any concern about my schedule or my employers. And by the way, Boxing Day has eff-all to do with the Christian aspect of Christmas. —Happy holidays

Next time, thank him for the gold and frankincense, but to not bother too much about the myrrh.
I’d feel bad for the guy who has nothing better to do boxing day than to get stoned and go out to comment on christian pictures and the role they play in the workplace dynamic. I personally think he liiiiiiiiiikes you!!
EFF-OFF
“And by the way, Boxing Day has eff-all to do with the Christian aspect of Christmas.” Happy Holidays
An excellent point, Happy. You might have asked him to support his asserton. On what biblical grounds did he make the claim that Christians should not work on Boxing Day? You might have demanded evidence demonstrating that working was prohibited in Bethlehem on the 26th of December. Further still, you might have pressed him on the number of Christians, outside the manger itself, living there in the year 1AD. That would have stumped him. Or you could just have told him to eff-off.

A pleasure as always,
Cheerio!
I feel bad for anyone who works serving the public and ends up being a captive audience for the rabble of the city to spout their inane drivel or, worse yet, to hit on them.
it’s 2014?
