What the hell has happened to the sanctity of Xmas!

[deank93]

Although i'm not officially working today i've had to go in to do a bit of work...sad i know but due to the below my girlfriend has been in work since 7am too!!! and am seriously getting the ump with all the IDIOTS that are out shopping on Boxing day....what the hell is wrong with these utterly moronic, in-breed, low life gypos...it'll keep until tomorrow or any of the 360 odd days of the year you losers!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway can anyone seriously offer an explination as to WHY retailers open on Boxing day...i can't help but think is it due to the fact that there are so many non-english people now living in the UK that that obviously don't celebrate Christmas and therefore that creates a demand for retailers to open today.

Thank God for the likes of Asda and M&S (a Jewish owned and ran company by the way) who appriciate what Christmas is about and don't make demands on staff to give up there time with family, friends or simply slobbing on the sofa for a few days to "meet the needs of the business"

Its once again put a real downer on my Christmas as after working until 2am on the 23rd then a full day on Xmas eve and i've been in work today, i will "need" to be in for the Monday and Tuesday bank holidays, new years eve and new years day.

Glad i've got that all of my chest.....seriously why are people out shopping :evil:

They are open due to MONEY and also they'll probably offend some minority if they close for Christmas :evil:


I hope noone is working today as today is the official replacement Christmas day bank holiday.

I actually had some stupid woman in one of my shops say to a member of staff that she felt really sorry for him having to work Boxing day so i said to her if you feel that bad about it go home! she looked a bit confussed so i pointed out to her that the only reason he was working and not at home with his family and friends is because of pillocks like her who can't enjoy a relaxing day at home and have to come out shopping....some people are so thick.

I had to work on Christmas day as well from 4pm to 3am on boxing day , So I come in from work and go to bed for a little well earned nap 8) , Only to be woken by Vikki at 530am so I could take her shopping in Edinburgh which is like 170 miles away :shock: . We got back at about 4pm just in time for me to start work again at 430pm .

And of cause I had to do it with a big cheesy smile on my face all day otherwise be accused of ruining her Christmas :shock: .

Oh and she spent my whole Christmas day wages on a new jacket
