Blame Canada! Part 17

A customer looks at the Thanksgiving Sale signs spread liberally around the store, then marches over to my spot at the customer service desk.

Customer: “Why are there Thanksgiving signs up?”

Me: “Because we’re running our annual Thanksgiving sale, ma’am. It runs until the 9th.”

Note: The 9th of October.

Customer: “That’s wrong! Thanksgiving isn’t until November 23rd! You have your signs up WAY too early!”

Me: “You’re thinking of Thanksgiving in the US, ma’am. This is Canada. We have ours in October.”

Customer: “You can’t DO that! It’s… that’s… It’s UNAMERICAN!”

Me: “Exactly, ma’am.”
