In A Fowl Holiday Mood

(It is Christmas Eve. We close at 5:00 pm, and are closed completely on Christmas Day. It is 5:15 pm and I am getting the last of the carts inside when a customer comes running up.)

Customer: “Hey, I need to buy a turkey!”

Me: “Sorry, sir, but we’re closed.”

Customer: “Since when?!”

Me: “5:00, sir.”

Customer: “Well, what time are you open tomorrow?”

Me: “We’re closed, sir.”

Customer: “Why!?”

Me: “Because we want to spend the day with our families.”

(He flips me the bird and walks away.)

Me: “Merry Christmas!”
