I actually really like shopping in the last week or so before Christmas, it's probably the one time of the year you can shop and people seem happy kwim?
I wanna shop where you shop! The pre Christmas grumps seem to have kicked in for heaps of people already down here! We had a massive shop yesterday. We're waiting on the checkout and one beside us opened. We were next but I said to the older couple behind us to jump in ahead of us. Both our checkout operator and the one that opened, plus the older couple we ushered through said it was very unusual for anyone to let others in at this time of year. And it gets worse the closer it gets to Christmas. Car park rage, lack of common courtesy. It's depressing really! Give me smiling people and I might not loathe shopping so much lol
