Cashiers angrily told me "Merry Christmas" in a smug and self righteous way
I live in the bible belt, Texas, and in fact I live in a county that has been dubbed, Big Red. They call it Big Red because it is the most conservative large urban county in America. Throughout my whole life, I have had plenty of cashiers or people in stores say to me, "Merry Christmas," cheerfully with a smile and a wave as I finished my business with them and walked away. It never bothered me. I would usually smile and wave back and go on about my business.
However, last year it was different.
Last year, there were multiple cashiers, as I was checking out with them and nearing the end of our business transaction, they would look me dead in the eyes, and without a smile, sternly tell me, "and you have a merry Christmas." It was weird. Like the look in their eyes was not happy not a true warm wish of seasons greeting, it was like they gained some type of power now that Trump told them it was ok to say "Merry Christmas" again. And for the first time in my liberal life I was actually angry that they said it, more so that they said it like that, because I felt like it came from a place of hate. They were smug and angry all in one.
One cashier, was doing that to everyone in her line, there was about 5 or 6 people. Except there was a man in front of me that was of middle eastern dissent. When he got to her, she didn't say it to him. She told everyone in the line "Merry Christmas," except for him. I remember feeling furious about it. So when it was my turn, and she said it to me, I told her to stick it up her ass.
Anyway, this was just my observation from last year. Ironically, also, it was only cashiers at stores, like the grocery store or department store, that were doing this. Has anyone else noticed this, as well?

4. I revel in the fact that they're so miserable, they can't even enjoy their favorite holiday.
I always answer "Merry Christmas!" with "And a Happy New Year!"

13. Indeed. Christians unable to enjoy their own major holy celebration because of hatred of others
is what they deserve. Now if we could only get them to move to their own theocratic country.

28. Really. Just say "Thank you for shopping at XYZ"
and shut the **** up about whatever holidays may be going on. Shit, Christmas isn't for for three weeks yet! Does anyone go around saying "Have a happy Independence Day" in the middle of June?

51. Lucky thing you did not sneeze...
Because if you told her to shove it up her ass for wishing you a Merry Christmas, I imagine you would have slugged her had she had the nerve to say ‘God Bless You’
Personally I cannot get my mind around being angry about being Merry Christmased with questionable motives.

Huh? We non-liberals have not been happier in countless years. Our shadenboners grow by the day (YAY CONYERS!) . obozocaare is on the ropes -- we have the right people draining the swamp (albeit slowly). "Merry CHRISTmas" (the reason for the season) has replaced the insipid "happy holidays" used by mike and obozo.
It's MAGA-time!!!

Shut up, Beavis. You KNOW we all regret our votes now and wish we could take them back. We are TOTALLY embarrassed by Trump every day. And you would already know this if you listened to the wise DUmpasses... geez man. Can't believe I have to explain this...

An error like the one in that OP really ruins the rest of the rant for me, even though it might be considered petty by some.
Except there was a man in front of me that was of middle eastern dissent
