I would tell him, don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you!
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't mean he is a Scrooge. It's annoying when Christmas music is playing everywhere from Halloween on...
ReplyDeleteThis wasn't Halloween and it was a Christmas dinner
DeleteThen go somewhere else.
ReplyDeleteDon't these idiots realize that the word holiday actually comes from the words holy days?
ReplyDeleteLove how atheists and Christmas haters think it is appropriate to say happy holidays.
And the owner should suggest that the customer find somewhere else to hang out where there are more atheist liberals like him.
ReplyDeleteSome people are just miserable.....
ReplyDeleteWe live in a nation of "WHAT ABOUT ME". If the diner's owner would have confronted Scrooge, Scrooge's feelings would have been hurt and he/she would have lawyered up.
ReplyDeleteWhen did it all go downhill...and so fast too?
Play it past Christmas just to be petty
ReplyDeleteIf it is loud and cheesy christmas music (Grandma got run stuff) then I would agree. If it is background music and mostly instrumental then it is fine. We leave restaurants/stores if they play loud rap or hip hop music too.
ReplyDelete10 to 1 the owner wrote it for the free publicity.
ReplyDeleteSuck it up, buttercup/SMFH
ReplyDeleteSo is he supposed to play some muslim holiday music?
ReplyDeleteI am so sick of this crap. If you're offended don't order and leave. This has become a country of thin skinned morons.
ReplyDeleteSo, he lost a bad customer. Great! He's better off without a sue- happy idiot coming to his plan.
ReplyDeleteWrite down the name, time and place of the
event, you will need it when this idiot returns over and over again with the goal of suing over some petty BS.
The US is a Christian country and was founded on Christian religious principals. In God We Trust. If you don't like religious Christmas music...play what you do like in your car or house. When you go into a place of business the business owner has a right to play what they desire.
ReplyDeleteWe love religious Christmas music.
Actually the U.S. in Jefferson's eyes was to be a country whose government is completely free of any one specific religion. This was the intent of the founding fathers. Yes the majority of them were Christian but they never intended this country to be exclusively Christian. In fact Jefferson was a Deist. He despised religion. As the saying goes "if you want to get decent people to commit horrible deeds, give them religion.
DeleteWTF do you bunny rabbit, oh-so-offended, sissies think Christmas is all about?
ReplyDeleteIt ain't no firework display holiday and it ain't no tailgate picnic.
Its about the birth of the Saviour of mankind. THAT is something to revere and honor.
NOT something to denigrate with a display of Satan, or to ridicule because YOU don't like it or just can't stand to see a crucifix without crying and having a breakdown.
One more thing it's NOT about?
YOU. Read that again.
Merry Christmas!
Hey all, an American Atheist here.
ReplyDeletePlease don't associate me with whomever did this. They didn't have to eat there. These people are a-holes.
I personally love Christmas music, even and especially the religious songs. I couldn't imagine Christmas without The Little Drummer Boy, or Silent Night, and a rousing version of O Holy Night can be quite moving.
Whomever did this should just go somewhere else.

Actually, Christmas has very little to do with the Christian religion anymore, it's mostly a secular holiday... Trees and Santa and Lights and Reindeer and such.
And... if you REALLY want to push the point, and I'm sure you do... the Christmas holiday predates the Christians hijacking the pagan solstice festivals. Do you really wanna go down that road?

An Ancient Holiday. The middle of winter has long been a time of celebration around the world. Centuries before the arrival of the man called Jesus, early Europeans celebrated light and birth in the darkest days of winter. ... In Scandinavia, the Norse celebrated Yule from December 21, the winter solstice, through January.
I mean... come on man. Lighten up.

2:53 is that Yule Brenner ?
ReplyDeleteWell, personally, I hate going in K-Mart at Christmas time and hearing the loud, offensive, junk they play, but I don't leave notes behind telling them so. I just leave, as this person should have done if they didn't want to dine while listening to Christmas songs.
