Happy Thanksgiving!

Wednesday was interesting...to say the least.

The first guest I help is returning a toy. When I ask her if there was anything wrong with it, the shit hits the fan. She starts spouting off about how she sent an e-mail to Target, and that she won't be doing anymore shopping at Target because I guess we aren't saying Merry Christmas. I haven't heard a thing from anyone about not saying Merry Christmas. I so badly wanted to argue with her, but she was a feisty bitch, so I just did the return and let her leave.

But come fucking on people! No one is bashing Christmas when they say happy holidays! Target still sells Christmas shit! How would you feel if you were Jewish, and every place you went told you to have a Merry Christmas!? Christmas is a holiday, and is included in the happy holidays greeting. It's really not that big of a deal. But, if you aren't going to shop somewhere because they don't bow down to your and only your religion, then I feel sorry for you. Show some damn consideration for others. Christianity is not the center of the universe so get over yourself. If someone wishes me a Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukkah, or any other holiday greeting, I say "Thanks, you too." No one is trying to convert you to their religion, they are just wishing you a happy holiday season.

We also got a call from this woman who heard that the first 100 people in the store on Friday get a $100 giftcard. Uh no.

We were done at midnight, but Phyllis and I were putting up the 2 day sale ad and so we were pretty much the last ones to leave.

I'm so excited to work tomorrow! I'm going in at 5am to get my own cards, and I'll get to see the rush in the doors. It'll be a 9 hour day for me!

Everyone have a good Thanksgiving and a happy holiday season!
