text: hands up if you are working over christmas? who of us lovely people are due to work over christmas period, and if so what do you do? i am sales assistant in local newsagents and am working christmas eve, christmas day (though i offered as my daughter's with her daddy anyway) and i think i have to work new year too. me too i work in a news agents and im working all over xmas but luckily not xmas day. we were given the choice whether we wanted to open xmas day or not and we chose no. if people haven't got what they want by then its tough luck. i have worked on xmas day a few times in previous years and i just found people un-grateful and still moaned about things. and when it came to lock up time they were banging on the door saying they only wanted a few bits and could we let them in (forgetting we had a family and a xmas to go and enjoy). three most popular items xmas day are fags, booze and batteries. any way merry xmas to every one (bit early i know)
