The next person who tries to correct me when I say “Happy Holidays” is going to be told Happy Hanukkah instead. Very tired of hearing, “No, it’s MERRY CHRISTMAS.” I’m pretty sure Judaism was around a lot longer than your Buckstar’s boycotting butt, Karen.
My boss once shared a great story about that. This happened when he was in a layover in North Carolina back when the “War on Christmas” bullshit was first becoming prominent. He had gone to get a pack of cigarettes, and after he paid for it:
“Merry Christmas.” “Happy holidays.” “No. I said Merry Christmas.” “Do you know what Hanukkah is about?” “No, what?” “Some people tried to make us worship their ways, so we rose up andkilled them. Happy Hanukkah.”
I celebrate Christmas, but generally avoid holiday themed greetings when working as a cashier unless the customer mentions their holiday specifically.
The other day, two older ladies were buying briskets and told me they was for their Hanukkah celebration that night, so I responded something like “Well Happy Hanukkah! It’s the third night, right?”
I shit you not these two old ladies were so tickled that someone at a store wished them a happy Hanukkah. One of them literally told me I was “the first one to do that”.
To those who think there’s a war on Christmas, please get the fuck over yourself and remember that not everyone experiences the world the way you do.
I was working at Michaels this time last year and I was raised jewish but don’t practice anything anymore. I really enjoy getting into the spirit though and just like to have fun with the energy of the holiday season. The store gave us all santa hats to wear during our shifts if we wanted to so I did.
I always made a point of saying Happy Holidays, and if customers want to respond with “Merry Christmas” that’s totally fine, I don’t really care. If you try to correct me that’s when I’ll push back.
I had this unpleasant conversation with a customer, who had up to this point been very nice, after I finished ringing up her items:
Me:”Thanks for shopping at Michaels, and happy holidays!” Her: “Um no…” Me: “I’m sorry?” (My response when I’m not sure what somebody has just said or don’t know what they mean” Her: “It’s not happy holidays. It’s Merry Christmas.” (At this point there’s been a long line all day and she’s holding it up as part of her righteous justice act) Me: “I’m sorry but I prefer to say Happy Holidays since we have customers of all backgrounds and religions at this store.” Her: “Well this is a christian country and you’re wearing a santa hat, so you have to say merry christmas.” Me: Taking off the santa hat “I was raised jewish. I’ll say merry christmas to you if you say happy hannukah to me.”
She huffed and got a little red while I called for the next customer to come to my register. She stormed out after I started ringing them up and ignoring her.
“They have guns, wear badges and patrol Michigan’s streets.
They’re even in uniform. But they’re not real cops.
Across Michigan, police departments have enlisted civilians to work alongside licensed officers to patrol communities and even assist real cops with arrests. But unlike the regular officers licensed by the state, these armed civilians are unregulated.
A Detroit Free Press investigation found there are no state-established training requirements for reserve officers, as they are commonly known; no standards for screening their qualifications, and no process for monitoring their conduct. The state agency responsible for police licensing and training is not regulating reserve officers — despite gaining authority last year to do just that — and has no idea how many such unlicensed volunteers there are statewide.”
