Oh that holiday feeling

Aren't the holidays just wonderful? People are so sweet and kind. If you didn't hear the sarcasm in those first two sentences let me assure you it was there.

On Sunday I was called to the front of the store. A customer wanted to know if he could have his 60 cents back. I asked what for. He said that the sign says pies are $5.99 but they are scanning $6.59. I told him if it was a cherry pie those are $6.59. He gave me a nasty look and said that's not what the sign says. I informed him that the sign does say underneath that cherry pies are $6.59. I told him I would bring the sign up if he would like to read it. He gave me another nasty look, turned around and walked out the door.

Yesterday I had double duty. I was doing the bakery as well as covering the office. I needed to make pies but they have to go last because I have to turn the temperature up on the oven. I had pulled the pies out of the freezer and was in the process of getting them ready to go in the oven but had been interrupted a couple times to run to the office. A customer comes in and asks if the pumpkin pies are done. I informed her that I was in the process of getting them in the oven but it would be a while before they were done. I got another nasty look and in a huffy tone she informed me that she was told they would be ready Tuesday morning. The deli girl said she talked to her Monday and told her I would be making pies on Tuesday but never said they would be ready in the morning. 

I'm really ready for the holiday to be over.
