Unfiltered Story #218583
(This year, Canada Day was on a Saturday. When a holiday falls on a weekend for places that are normally already off or closed on weekends, they will take the Friday or Monday off, so that they still get their extra day off. I work in an electronics store, which is normally open on weekends, so we were closed on Canada Day, and the rest of our hours didn’t change. I had these exchanges all day long, the Monday following Canada Day)
Customer on the phone: Are you guys open today?
Me: Of course we’re open.
Customer on the phone: But I thought you’d be closed cuz of the holiday and everything.
Me: Yes, we were closed on Saturday.

Customer: When are you open til today?

Customer: You don’t have Sunday hours because of the holiday?
Me: The holiday was on Saturday. We were closed.

Customer: I’m surprised you’re open!
Me: How come?
Customer: Because of Canada Day!
Me: Canada Day was on Saturday. We were closed on Saturday.
Customer: But you still need that extra day off!
Me: We did. All the full-timers only worked 4 days. But since we’re normally open 7 days a week, we closed on Canada Day.
