I've worked Christmas Eve many a time, and it's mostly hell. I work it cuz I don't want to work New Year's Day; I have to work one or the other and I choose to have NYD off. Anyway, the reason it's hellish is cuz of people like you, who think they have every right to stroll into the shop just before closing time and do a big shop. That's just pure selfishness and shows zero regard for us who just want to get home to our friends/family.

I'm sorry you were alone at Christmas; however, that doesn't give you the right to ruin other people's Christmases. Next time, volunteer at a soup kitchen or animal shelter; as well as taking your mind off the loneliness, it should also help you ditch that "me me me" attitude you seem to have.
