The Christmas season should actually stand for contemplation.
For some Edeka customers, however, it meant stress – they let an employee feel it.
Hamburg – The Christmas days are over, for many people they meant feasts and gifts.
But not all consumers were able to enjoy the time.
Some struggled with stress at Christmas.
It was then obviously left out in many places on fellow human beings – such as on a seller at Edeka in Norderstedt, as 24hamburg.de writes.

After trouble in Edeka: mother calls for more understanding for her son
It didn't work out with a white Christmas in 2022.
Did that put some people in Germany on the mood?
Or was it unwanted gifts that ruined the mood?
In any case, some didn't keep their Christmas frustration to themselves, but dumped it elsewhere.
A mother reported this on Facebook.
Her son, who works at Edeka in Norderstedt (Schleswig-Holstein), had to put up with a lot on Christmas Eve.
Here is the whole story.

"Dear Norderstedt and people from the area, I wish you a Merry Christmas." That's how she began her stories on Facebook.
Then she addressed something that made her incredulous at Christmas.
Her son earned a few extra euros on Christmas Eve by working at the cash register at Edeka.
He tried "to make you happy all day long," wrote the boy's mother.
But all the effort, getting up early at 5.30 a.m. and the best of intentions didn't help - many customers behaved really badly.
Edeka cashier collects ugly words at Christmas – then tears flow
"My son had to be badly insulted by you," the mother continued.
The reasons for this seemed to be manifold.
It was about sold-out goods, non-functioning EC cards or the fact that no further cash registers were opened.
All things that a seller is not necessarily responsible for.
No reason for the student's mother to take out the frustration on the other person anyway.
The result of the apparently persistent insults: "He secretly went to the toilet to cry because he took the whole thing to heart."
The mother had a lack of understanding, above all, because her son did everything to "fulfill YOUR last wishes." Then she launched an appeal: "I really hope that one or the other reads this and reflects on his behavior." Also in the comments under the Facebook post, users reacted without understanding.
"I'm at a loss for words, what's wrong with people?" and "Unfortunately, it's not just like that in retail," commented some users.
It is questionable whether the message has also arrived on the display and in the hearts of the scolding Edeka customers.
This campaign, reported on by tz.de, shows that shopping can also be strange: Man should buy chives from Aldi – Fail becomes a viral laugh.
