12/22/20 Grif.Net - Christmas on Friday
Robert Griffin
I stopped for coffee this morning.
Bob: "Are you all ready for Christmas? Remember, Christmas falls on a Friday this year."
Employee: "Oh my goodness. I really hope it's not on the 13th!"
Employee at next register: "That would sure be unlucky.”
Manager overheard and added: “It doesn't matter what date this year. We close early and celebrate the night before anyway."
