Christmas Day

Nice and quiet day at Kraut manor...Presents strewn here and there, Sesame Street on the tube for the little ones (alright, and me! Can't get enough Super Grover!)

A scene from yesterday's frantic shopping...

The LCBO, Ontario's regulated dispenser of all things alcohol. I'm coming up to the cash, which is breaking tradition by being spookily efficient...

Me: "Merry Christmas"
1st cashier: "Merry Christmas, sir."

(2nd cashier elbows 1st cashier in the ribs)

1st cashier: "I mean, Happy Holidays, sir!"
Me (sensing tension): "What's wrong with Merry Christmas?"
1st cashier: "Nothing, sir. Happy Holidays."
Me (can't resist): "So there's an approved list of greetings?"
2nd cashier: "Happy Holidays is more inclusive..." (shooting a stern glance at 1st cashier)
Me: "So they tell you guys what to say? Jesus..."
2nd cashier: "We don't mention him either. Happy Holidays, sir."

The bag is shoved into my hands as the next customer in line is glaring at me for wasting his time...

"Merry Christmas" I say again, just to be a shit-stirrer...

No response.

  1. And a joyful Kwanzaa to you.

  2. A long time ago, in a college town far, far away, I used to work at McDonald's. We hated motherfuckers like you.

    Oh, and Merry Christmas. wink

  3. Such language! I would honestly never annoy the hard working, fast food employees of the nation's greasepits (salt o' the earth, all of 'em!)

    However, unionized, government cashiers who earn more than I do, doing about 1/3 the job of the average fast food employee for more than twice the wages (plus they get overtime! OVERTIME!)are fair game in my book.

    Besides, they can't take retribution by giving me a Quarter Pounder with Sneeze...
