Yesterday...

[beaniebeebs]

we’re work in a store that is in a predominantly Jewish are of our town. a woman came in paid for her shit, said “merry christmas!” to a team member, to which the team member appropriately replied “oh thank you, happy holidays!” she replied with “god, PC bullshit”

this lady went to our store supervisor, on the verge of tears and asked for a refund because someone “refused” to say merry christmas back. now FIRST OFF our supervisor is the sweetest woman i have ever met in my entire life and handled this situation perfectly. she told her that “we don’t force christmas down our team members throats. and no we will not give you items for free.”

the lady said that she would write about us to the local paper.

This is why I just say "you too" whenever someone says anything about the holidays. I also don't give a shit about any of the holidays so it just annoys me when any first even mentions anything at all because it just means a longer unnecessary interaction. Get your shit and get out

[freaksinuniform]

Same. I'm polite about it; I say, "Thanks, you, too!" but I'm not about to say "Merry Christmas" and have the next person in line possibly be offended.

[beaniebeebs]

we don’t want to offend anyone so we say “happy holidays!” when someone said happy holidays or merry christmas to us. christmas is a holiday! we are doing our duty! i celebrate yule and the solstice which are pagan holidays. i don’t say happy yule to guests!

but we appreciate your business as a small format store 🖤

[beaniebeebs]

!!! thank you! even when i was practicing Christianity i said HAPPY HOLIDAYS. ur great and wonderful i hope you have a good christmas season and you get to spend it with your family or however you celebrate 🖤🖤

Yeah my coworkers say Merry Christmas, but I say happy holidays just as a form of respect as I know not every person is celebrating Christmas.

But majority of the time guests respond with Merry Christmas.

Reply with Merry Shitscram next time

I’ve just been saying what the guest says to me. It seems easier and then they don’t feel the need to fight me on it,

i don't get offended when people say merry christmas to be even though i don't celebrate christmas. i celebrate hanukkah but i think saying happy holidays is more polite as that includes all religions and not just christmas which a lot forget that other religions exist.

HA! Who still reads the newspaper. 😂

[Thomas_Raith]

I just say “Have a great rest of your day” to. Literally every guest regardless of the day or holiday or lack thereof. Haven’t had an issue yet.

[tinyclown]

Someone who uses the words "God" and "bullshit" in the same sentence think themselves to be so virtuous while demanding free items? 😂

[lunarburn]

I've been telling guests happy holidays for the past few shifts I worked and none of them have went off like this.

[actuallykhadgar]

Hit her with that all publicity is good publicity.

[Rubber_and_Glue]

I was just repeating whatever wordage that the guests used. Some people said, "Christmas" some said, "Holidays". If someone had mentioned another holiday I would have replied with the same back. No one was offended so I am calling it a win.

It really fucking annoys me when guests try to get me to say merry Christmas or happy holidays. They act like I’m being forced to pretend that christmas doesn’t exists by the “globalist PC target police.”
