As a sidenote, I got my first snide Christmas customer today at work. A customer came through my line with kosher wine, vegetable oil, and sour cream – enough that I suspected she was celebrating Hanukkah, but also wasn’t sure about saying Happy Hanukkah to her. So I said “Happy Holidays!” when she left.
The lady behind her sneered, “I guess they make you say that instead of Merry Christmas, huh? Everybody’s so PC these days.”
And I just said, “Oh, no, they let us choose what to say. But it’s Hanukkah this week, and she was purchasing Hanukkah supplies, so I assume she’s probably not focused on celebrating Christmas right now, if she celebrates it at all.”
The look on her face. I’m pleased to say, reader, that she at least had the good grace to look chastised. She didn’t say anything but, “Oh.” but man, I was satisfied.
