In A Happy Holi-Daze, Part 3
(I am working alone, and I get to choose the music playing in the store. It’s mid-December.)
Customer: “Oh, I just love the music you’re playing! What is it?”
Me: “It’s the Barenaked Ladies Holiday Album. It’s one of my favourites!”
Customer: “Oh, God. You’re one of those.”
Me: “Sorry?”
Customer: “You’re one of those idiots who thinks that saying ‘Christmas’ isn’t ‘politically correct.’ Honestly, what is happening to the world? I hate people like you, who try to make the rest of us feel like backwards hicks for saying ‘Christmas!’”
Me: “Erm… well, the album actually has several Hanukkah songs on it, as well as Christmas carols. So it’s their holiday album.”
Customer: “Oh. Do you know where I could buy it?”
