I always do that every year and they say the same back. I just did it as I did the shopping, it feels good doing so, cos that is the kind of guy I am

It depends sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. There are times when I'm not sure if the person celebrates Christian festivals so I'll say something like "happy holidays"

The pound shop one did a year or two back. Imagine 10 busy checkouts constantly saying ho ho ho and various similar things. Was the most irritating 5 minutes of my life in that queue. The man working there looked like he was losing his mind.

Yes I do....

I was waiting for a while in the queue while the checkout lady spoke to the elderly gentleman for a while, she was attentive and they included me in their conversation. After a while he went away and she apologised for making me wait but went on to explain that he was widowed and lonely and only came into the store for the interaction.....he never saw people and had no family

It was quite humbling tbh and very moving. I realised then that checkout staff are crucial in people's lives, the backbone of the community in more ways than one.....it also made me think that our time is the greatest gift we can give someone.

I did write a letter to customer services with the lady's name along with a gift voucher for her....I feel that people deserve acknowledgement for and the recognition when they do go above and beyond.

Definitely, and I wondered how many people would of been impatient with the situation but you never know what people are going through and time is something we can all give a little of surely

I'm ashamed to say I'm probably one of the "impatient".

I wouldn't normally reply to a post like yours. It maybe down to the fact that I'm at my mum's right now, and I haven't seen her in a while...

"No. I say I hope you have a nice weekend instead, not everyone likes Xmas for whatever reason"

Yes, put my foot in it soooo many times over the years. I say, Merry Christmas if the suitation arrives. And "Birthday wishes" ect. I skirt around any issue, never say directly.

The first year we did seacrete Santa at work. The company told us the names we had. The day of opening, I was sat next to the person who got mine. I put a lot of effort in. She said under her breath to me. " what ever it is, it's going straight in the bin. I'm morman and don't celebrate Christmas". I wanted the floor to open up. So I avoid where ever I can now. I'm always polight to check out staff, as I was one for many years. Wishing them a good day ect. - fem.

Always! It is the hardest time of year for anyone working retail so I always try to show extra appreciation for their work. I would last a day behind a till at Christmas.

Yes, in todays "cyber" world, its easy to forget that not everyone is contected and has human contact. In my early 40's I was a single mum, working from home. Some days, the only other human I got to speak to was the teacher at the school gate. Some times, I would have no adult interaction for a few days. Some may think its an inconvience, having to wait while someone "chats". But for that one person, it can mean the world.

As someone who works in a supermarket I really wish my customers were more like you guys. Let me say that we do appreciate a nice word and being treated like human beings. I'm back in at 7am on Boxing Day btw.

I'm a waitress, the people who wish me a Merry Christmas on their way out tend to be the children.

I write "wishing you a wonderful Christmas" on every bill and tell them I hope that have a good one as they're leaving, but it hits me in the feels when the kids wish me a merry Christmas first. I know they mean that shit.

"

Me too, but just because I hate it doesn't mean I don't genuinely want other people to enjoy theirs, especially those who are working. People who are likely worrying if they'll earn enough money that shift to put gas in the meter or food on the table.

So, if you mean it, it ain't fake.
