Today, my boss insisted that we get in the holiday mood by putting up lights, playing Christmas music, and wearing bells on our uniforms. It's not even Thanksgiving yet and I can't even have a tinkle without full-blown jingling. FML

Does everyone just forget about Thanksgiving?

I totally though of Micheal from The Office when I read this. :)

And people wonder why retail employees aren't so "jolly" by Christmas. Because they've been listening to "Silver Bells" and "Jingle Bell Rock" for a month and a half on repeat.

I had that back when I worked my first job at McDonald's, so it's really not just retail. There's really only about 5 different Christmas songs. They are just sung by many different artists.

LOL, hearing the same 4-5 songs played over and over again, just sung by a different person, is definitely an irritant. But seriously, people in retail aren't "jolly" because many holiday shoppers tend to be horrible excuses for human beings. During the year, I get bitched at by a customer maybe once a month, if that. But in the holidays? It's once a day. -___-

Was that last part a double entendre? Because I wouldn't mind a full-blown jingling.

At least your boss didn't put a fake snow machine in your place of work, like mine did.

Nothing says class like a fake snow machine at your local Sizzler.
