Just shut up and bag!

   Although spoken in jest, this line speaks to the general mood of many of my customers today. The first one of the day yelled that we could all laugh at her but she wasn't going to take this shit. This was odd because no one was speaking to her, nor was it her turn in line. No one was laughing. I turned and said to her, "I feel like I've missed something. Can I help you?" Indeed I could not. The psychosis was too great for a 5 minute session.
   I met my first Christmas shopper of the season today. Yes, some people are officially Christmas shopping. You know this makes me ill. Especially when they're as crabby as she was. I hope her mood picks up as we get closer to the big day. Otherwise she may as well dress as the Grinch and get it over with.
   The guy who said he was going to "be looking for me" hasn't come in yet. Idle threats - they make the day more interesting.
   Highlight of the night - the closing annoucement made with a British accent. Very classy!
