Setting:
Large chain store.
Employees are all about the department, putting up wreathes and christmas lights, singing Christmas songs in Santa hats.
A customer enters their department.
Emp1: Happy New Years!
All Emp: Happy New Years!
Customer: Happy New Year.
Customer looks around as employees continue putting up decorations and singing.
Customer: Uhhh, excuse me.
Emp1: Yes? Can I help you find something?
Customer: Not really. I’m just curious; wasn’t Christmas a week ago.
Emp1: Yes.
Customer: Okay. Well, then shouldn’t you be taking down the decorations, not putting more up?
Emp1: Wellll, since the economy’s going to get so much worse this year than it has been, we’re giving it a little pinch in the arm to wake it up by starting the Christmas season early.
Customer: I can understand earlier, but this seems a little ridiculous.
Emp1: Haven’t you noticed the season starting earlier and earlier every year anyway? December 1st… Thanksgiving… Halloween… Columbus Day… it was only inevitable.
Customer: Huh.
Emp1: So you better be nice this year and spend your money… or else.
Customer: Or else?
All Emp: Or else.
