BA, HUMBUG

With only 7 days left until Christmas many of us may find it hard to keep our tempers in check.

Working within a retail setting as a CSR at a local outlet, I find many customers are becoming more rude than normal. I understand that you may feel your time is the only time but that does not give you the right to become Ebenezer Scrooge especially to someone who has no control over procedures and price points.

Instead of making that poor cashier feel like you no what, take a deep breathe and hold it to yourselves. If after December 25th you still feel a need to complain, keep all of your purchase information and get the problem solved through the right people and not the kid or senior citizen making minimum wage.

It is hard enough for us retail workers to get into the holiday spirit and we do not need you Ba Humbugs making it worse.

So please if you are the type of person who gets rude and becomes a big pain in the butt please take this advice...stay home and do all your shopping on line.

Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays to be politically correct!
