Captain Crunch reminded me of more Christmastime fun. We were trying to close on Christmas eve so we could all get home to our families for Christmas dinner. We have a number of people in our location that are still picking up parcels. We have stated quite clearly that we close at 5, all of our signs so so, when we call people to pick up their stuff we tell them, etc. So I go lock the doors and stand by one to let out all the people who are already inside the building. OF course, people keep pulling up and knocking on the locked door. I tell them we're closed. They get all p*ssed and tell me they need to pick up their parcels. I let them know that they should have been here before we closed, as all of our staff need to go home to enjoy Christmas with their loved ones. "Aw, come on. It'll only take a minute..." Me: "Yes, and then others will pull up and want the same service and we'll never get out of here." Customer: "You're an @#$!!!!!" Me; "...and a Merry Christmas to you as well...."
LOL...this is a great thread

When I worked in retail our code for "go ###### yourself" was "and you have a VERY merry christmas sir"...whenever you heard someone say that phase it was worth a laugh and some good stress relief!
