There are only 2 things I really dislike about the Christmas season
1) it starts sooner every fucking year
2) (only applicable to retail employees) the Christmas playlist loop that always includes really shitty stuff.

I shouldn't see Christmas stuff in shops before November, and even that's pushing it. I saw Christmas stuff in shops IN SEPTEMBER.
@ArdanianRight It really doesn't make sense by retail standards. Nobody really starts looking for Christmas-specific things until the week before Thanksgiving and I haven't had customers purchase winter/Christmas stuff until Black Friday. @Terry @liam
@Terry I'm usually the one who has to clean up after them so I agree. Few things are more annoying than having to clean up a fuck tonne of pine needles because corporate decided to be ~festive~ a bit too early˙@ArdanianRight @liam
@ArdanianRight If you haven't worked retail ever and are looking at this thread like "why doesn't that make sense?"
Shelf space is money, for every m² of space you're wasting on premature Christmas holiday stuff, you could be stocking with currently selling merchandise.
