I try to treat people the way I want to be treated. Admittedly I have gotten upset when a store doesn't have something in stock, but in the end it's not the cashiers' fault. I try to stay calm and ask if I can order it online or when they might have more in stock. I often find that instead of a reasonable answer, the person helping me rolls their eyes, walks away from me, or treats me poorly by saying in a sarcastic tone that they have no idea when it's coming in. In my mind I haven't been rude or mean, I've just asked a question. Why the sarcasm and rudeness in return. Whether it's Christmas or not, just treat others the way you want to be treated.
