What don’t you miss about working holidays?

We’ve all had those shifts where the stress levels skyrocketed and the festive spirit just vanished. This thread is all about sharing those moments that you’re glad to leave behind now that the holiday hustle is over.

One year, just before Christmas, a storm rolled in, and we spent the whole shift rushing to keep everything afloat. The stress was off the charts, and any sense of holiday joy faded quickly. I'm really glad that's behind me.

There was one December shift where we were short-staffed, running behind, and facing one problem after another. By the time I punched out, the holiday spirit felt like it had vanished.

I recall a time when everything seemed to break down all at once, and the phones just wouldn't quit ringing. By the end of it, any holiday cheer I had was completely gone.
