I had this really obnoxious lady come into my work yesterday. We have a gift shop of donated items for our animal shelter. In the shop we had these finger pianos retailed at $51.00 each (they're merchandise from a store that went out of business, and are new not used). We had a sale for 30% off. We have chart for our volunteer cashiers that shows how much to take off for each dollar amount to save them time. Anyway, this lady sees the 30% off sign and the chart, and tells me she thought the finger pianos were only $15.30 (that's the dollar amount the chart said should be taken off). So when I told her that the total after the 30% discount was $73.50 for two of the pianos, she had a fit. She started saying how she donates all her cans and bottles to our shelter, was taking a bunch of donated items to our shelter, her sister-in-law is leaving us thousands of dollars in her will, and insinuates that we therefore owe her special pricing (Btw: I don't know any of those 3 things to be true). She goes on and on about how the items have sat for a year unsold (which is true), and they'll just sit and collect dust if I don't give them to her at $10.00 apiece.I had a mountain of work to do before the holidays, and just wanted her to just go away. So I said, "fine", and regretted it later. I hate people who carry themselves with a sense of entitlement.

I pre-ordered an anime series on blu-ray in a set with a bunch of extras (art book, posters, etc.) and it was supposed to arrive 12/18 with some other things I'd ordered but it wasn't in the box. The packing slip said that it was supposed to be in there so I contacted the company I ordered it from and it took them three days to get back to me and now they're on vacation for the holidays--and I still have to prove to them that they didn't send it to me. So even though I ordered it more than a month before it was due out I won't get it until at least a month after it was released. And everyone else who got it is raving about how wonderful the set is. I want my show darnit!

Businesses are busier, which likely means more errors and then it's harder to get things resolved because of reduced hours/closed days due to the holidays. I hope they get it sorted out for you.
My oldest cat came walking after eating, sat beneath the christmastree beside me and pooped on the carpet, then walked away like it was nothing.
I’m feeling useless and defeated.Having cramps and just want to sleep.Worried that I will never be a productive member if society and just burden those I love.
