        That was another great one on other religious holidays. I often used it on Easter. My favorite part requires some context; I live in the Midwest, where it’s considered uncouth to shame someone’s holiday traditions, regardless of religion or family tradition. Often, their face twists up and they’re forced to swallow a teppid thanks

      nah, a lot of people are miserable at their jobs all over the world. Just because there might be a decent social system that could tide them over should they lose that job doesn’t mean they’ll just quit

          I actually just meant the “act positive” part. It’s super weird how every worker in the US is forced to be insanely fake friendly, while here, people are just… normal and don’t hide their true emotions. I mean sure, people still try to be nice and don’t let their anger out on customers, but it’s a huge difference to the absolute uncanny and forced fake friendliness (even when denying something) that’s omnipresent in the US.

    Same.

    Also, pair that with customers coming into your business during Christmas. The business you work for is not essential (you don’t care for the sick, fly planes, or sell anything). And the customers are shitty to you. On Christmas. When they could just keep their miserable asses home. Because nobody has to be here. Stay home and be mean to your shitty kids and family ffs.
