I used to work at a video rental shop that was open on Christmas day. I worked it twice, I don't really remember the first time but the second time I just showed up drunk and high as gently caress cos why not.

Was a bit depressing when the majority of the customers were there to rent porn

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Can I just hang out here for awhile? The in-laws are over and it's not good, I gotta tell you. I mean, our marriage was having some problems ever since.... well, nevermind. But of course her parents took her side, and so I'm outnumbered today, haha.

But I mean, is cranberry sauce that big a deal? They seriously sent me out for this poo poo? I don't know. I guess it's different when you're... you know.... when you don't have more important things to worry about. Oh cool, new Time magazine, you guys mind if I sit here and read it? I'll pay you guys, seriously, all under the table so corporate doesn't take their cut. I know how it is.

*2 hours later*

poo poo, they're still calling me. I better go back soon or else they'll think something is up. Can you change the receipt to say it's the Giant Eagle across town? They'll check it, believe me, and my story's gonna fall apart. You can't? poo poo.

Try WAITRESSING on Christmas

Cooks are high AND bummed, ruminating on their life choices, considering suicide options more than normal

Customers pissed as gently caress they are in a hotel restaurant or lounge on Christmas, doubly pissed because no one there but fellow businessmen and it doesn't look like the bartender puts out

Had to travel cross-country on Christmas week. Ended up in a loving Denny's in Oklahoma for Christmas eve dinner. And it was loving PACKED! Not with idiots like us; travelers from the nearby hotel, or truckers, or people stuck there. Entire families including numerous obese children, all eating dinner at a loving Denny's for Christmas.

A very harried looking waitress came over and said there was going to be a long wait and they were out of many menu items. There was a long line of people already waiting.

I think we ended up eating food from the gas station for Christmas dinner in the hotel room instead.

Okay... GPX MP3 player. That'll do. Some of those Coby headphones. Yeah. Better grab three of those. Hmm... A cocoa and mug set. Better grab one or two of those. A box of Russell Stovers. YES! Now... Hey, do you guys have any of those 'gift bags'? I'm on my way to the family Christmas celebrations and I can't wrap this poo poo in the car. Also, you got any Goo Gone, because I don't want them to see I bought this stuff at Walgreens.

Closest thing to a hot meal is going to a gas station to buy 2 hot dogs with all the fixins. The woman behind the counter tells me "Happy Holidays".

I'm in such a daze I don't know if I told her, "You, too" or "Get hosed." under my breath.

I'm a dealer this is true. What's sad is when some of them lose and are like BUT ITS CHRISTMAS. :v
And then I usually go "Then how come I am working?" It shuts them up usually.

When I am planetary overlord anyone going out to do anything on Christmas will be sent to work in the Slave Mines. Like in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Get your gas and food and booze on the 23rd. Stay the gently caress home. Also add in Xmas Eve and Thanksgiving. (For non Americans I am sure we can find a different trio of loving DO NOTHING days that more adequately fit their nation and culture. This also means visitors to said place gotta deal with poo poo being closed. )
