Twas the night before Christmas... at Meijer
Twas the night before Christmas and all through the store
Not a cashier was at rest, they were all on the floor
the lanes were backed up as far as the lines could go
Just a chaotic mess, row after row
the customers were grouchy as they stood in line
"That was supposed to be a dollar, there was a sign!"
And trying to get a price check was a huge pain
Because all the department team members were running a lane
When over on lane 12 there arose such a clatter
The SC ran over to see what was the matter
12 bottles of pasta sauce had fallen with a loud crunch
Where is the service runner? He's gone on lunch
From the empty shelves in the grocery aisles
to the lines of customers that stretched for miles
when what to my wondering eyes should appear
But underaged kids attempting to buy beer
With the managers under stress until the very last day
We hoped a vacation they would soon take
More rapid than the customers who couldn't be tamed
The managers called the departments by name
"Now, Service! now, Grocery! now, Hardlines and Toys!
On, Womens! on Mens! on, Girls and on Boys!
Increase same store sales! to the top of the wall!
Now cut hours! cut hours! cut hours from all!"
"Don't turn the carousel, I'm trying to bag!"
"This rang up wrong! Just look at the tag!"
"This is an express lane - 12 items or less"
Another Christmas in the land of Meijer fresh
And over at Uscan I could hear the cashier nag:
"Sir! You have to put the item IN THE BAG"
Just when I thought things couldn't get worst,
I heard "You have to press END ORDER first!"
Nothing on the shelves, breaks 2 hours late
LP complaining cuz someone didn't shut the lane gate
Tired of the Christmas songs playing again and again
We are counting down till the season will end
And as 7:00 came by and it's time to close the store
the customers shouting "Let me get one thing more!"
We rush until they are all out of sight and we cheer
And finally we can be at peace, for one night of the year
