Ho HO HO

Is it just me... or are people getting weirder?

I was shopping, as is the unfortunate habit at Christmas time, and was finally at the cash register at Best Buys. I inquired how to purchase a reserve copy of a video game that is due to be released in January. Stores do this, but I've never done it, so I was unsure of the procedure.

The cashier politely responded that yes, they have it, and yes I can reserve it, but I need the box. She then offered to send an employee to go grab one for me while she scans and checks out the purchases I've made. Great! awesome! I think until....

.... the bitch came....

The cashier called over this bitch girl and told her to go grab two copies of the game for me... to which the woman replied, while throwing her hands in the air, "Oh no. She gonna haf to do dat herself. I don't do that. Nuh uh." and then she walked away.

um yea. Did I mention BITCH. Great employees ya got there Best Buys. Real good customer service.

I requested the manager...... Just to complain. I'm sure it made his day.

Then...

To liven up the office, I bought the 5 guys here at the office that were not on vacation, weird holiday hats to wear when we had our company lunch. You know the kind.... fuzzy reindeer antlers, funny elf hats, etc. Just something to make the lunch more fun.

They stared at me like I had grown horns. Well I had, but mine were candy cane striped with little minny mouse bows on them, but still .....they balked at actually wearing them.

I ordered them to put on the hats, or no lunch.

They all traded around until til most were satisfied with their headgear, placed them on their heads and down the elevator and out the building we went.

Somehow, the hats never made it inside the restaurant. Seems the car had eaten them or something.

......but I had a back up plan.

Santa hats. Innocuous red and white santa hats. They all eagerly agreed to wear them. Later I would make them don the more fun hats when we were back in the office and take a pic.... and send it to my boss as a greeting card. lol

I still can't believe they balked at wearing those hats. Who cares if you are wearing an elf on your head.. it's Christmas.. have some fun!

Another, 'huh' moment was while we were at the restaurant having our company lunch.

As we were all laughing over the never ending supply of headgear I seemed to posses, and enjoying our meal, I looked down the table and noticed one of the employees was not eating. I asked what was up and found out his food hadn't arrived. Now guys, I don't know about you.. but if my food hasn't arrived, and everyone else is half way thru theirs, I'd do something about it; OR... if I knew someone's food had not arrived and everyone eleses food had... I'd do something about it.

So I did. I got up, went to the serving area and grabbed the first person I saw, and let her know we were missing a dish. She arrived with it in less than a minute. simple.

The poor guy had sat there doing nothing, and the people around him doing nothing .... I just found that very odd. le sigh. I guess if you're too shy to wear a funny hat, you're too shy to ask about your food.

Oh well... just some "huh"?! moments I thought I'd write down....

and now.... I'm on vacation for TWO WEEKS! YAY! Happy holidays everyone!
