cinnamon shreddies
A few years ago i worked in a toy shop. you can imagine the hell of xmas time, with its ever increasing hours and claustrophobia inducing crowds. so if there werre freebies for the customers they mostly ended up with the staff. none more so than the time we were supposed to give away a mini pack of cinnamon shreddies with ever purchase.

why? I have no bloody idea, i have no idea what correlation toys and shreddies had, except perhap the makers of shreddies thought it would be a good way to get to a target market of kids.

it wasn't. it got to a target market of stoner staff members. we all took a box of 24 home, some people took more.

i called round to a couple of lads i knew one night for a smoke and opened up their cupboards to find every single one filled with boxes, all stacked neatly.

we got a serious fit of the giggles imagining if the gardai called round (as they were due to as the lads had been broken into previously) and saw us sitting there surrounded by shreddies, with crumbs on our chins.

i don't even think most of the boxes were eaten , they were minging, and because of the sheer quantity they ended up going off before they could be consumed. but the 2 lads did try their best.

ruining xmas
i ruined xmas by not being psychiclly linked to every toy/game in every box and not knowing which one would be faulty and somehow managing to sell these monserous broken toys, even though there were signs up around the place reminding parents to check toys before the big day-also i think any good parent should do this to avoid tramatising their child
also i was not the buyer and as such had no control over levels of stock of the "big" toys each, funnily enough as i was working there part time. so when a parent came looking for a toy that was sold out months before and amazingly as it was produced in the far east,it couldn't be ordered in a a matter of weeks or days.
and thats how i ruined xmas. by being there.
