Salespeople here are already surly through most of the year; when X-mas rolls around they can be downright hostile. The Slovenian Christmas shopping experience can be distilled into the following:
Customer: "Hey there, I’d like to give you money in exchange for goods and services, thereby ensuring your financial livelihood and that of your business."
Salesperson: "Suck my balls."
That’s why I try to do most of my shopping online and avoid local stores. In the few instances where I was forced to shop here, I got the usual "What-the-hell-does-this-jerk-want-from-me-and-why-doesn’t-he-have-exact-change?!" treatment.
Regardless, here’s hoping everyone has a merry Christmas and a happy new year. The Glory of Carniola will return, gloriously, in 2005. Hope to see you then!
