I can't believe it. I've been in about 15-20 shops in the last 3 days, browsing and buying little things here and there, and not one single person has wished me a Merry Christmas! Tescos? No! Virgin? No! Even The works, who are grateful for any sort of custom at any time of the year failed to send me away full of the Christmas spirit! Dunno about you, but when I used to do shop work (it was only 5 years ago), we were told to say it whether we were serving customers or not. I'm not a Christmassy person, but I always say it around this time of year because it's polite to do so. Do any of you lot work in shops? What's the general consensus on festive greetings nowadays?

You should definetly always try and give a festive greeting whether the person who is recieving wants it or not. It shows you care and it is also polite. Merry Christmas Monkey man.

Hey, we're the consumer! If shops want our custom they should be polite and courteous to us! Of course I'm always polite and courteous anyway - all us monkey_men are, but it just annoyed me that standards had slipped that much in such a short space of time.

Have Tonty's minions giving you festive cheer or the finger this year?

Go in to the disney shop. They pay people to stand at the entrance and say Merry Christmas to people coming in and going out. Merry Christmas anyway though.

I was in Woolies the other day, and thr grumpy moody slág (yes, that's filtered) didn't say booger all to me.

She reminded me of the 'girl' in Little Britain. Y'know the "yeah, but, I, but, y'see, coz but like, yeah".
Except a lot less cheery.
