According to an employment tribunal in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, a mother and father were browsing in the jewellery department of the Corte Ingles with their seven-year-old daughter when the mother spied the perfect Santa gift for her husband. She surrepticously asked the shop assistant to put the gentlemans watch to one side so she could buy it later but the worker approached the little girl and told her to take your father to the perfume department so your mother can buy him a watch for Christmas. According to the courts sentence, the child apparently immediately told her father, therefore ruining the surprise. But more importantly she apparently expressed confusion and dismay to learn that it was her mother buying Christmas gifts that were supposed to be brought in Santas sack. The incident, led to a complaint to the manager over the assistants disrespectful and malicious attitude, and brought about her dismissal. She had previously had several warnings about her attitude including over an incident when she chastised a family shopping for gifts on Christmas Eve telling them not to buy gifts on Christmas Eve with the reminder that in Spain, it is the Kings and not Santa Claus who brings the presents. The woman, who had been employed at the Corte Ingles since 2005, had been given official warnings on numerous previous occasions for showing a lack of respect towards colleagues, bosses and customers, according to the employment court sentence. But it was her Bah Humbug attitude at Christmas that finally led to her dismissal.

On one hand, this. On the other, it seemed like she was trying to help the mom out by distracting the dad. And what parents tell their kids that all presents to everyone are from Santa? Do relatives just get no credit at all? And do they put no presents under the tree until Christmas eve? What about if the kid visits other houses and sees presents already out? --- "If history is to change, let it change! If the world is to be destroyed, so be it!

I didn't know it was a thing to tell kids that Santa is responsible for each and every present that ends up under the tree. I've always thought that there was an understanding that parents, siblings, and friends are responsible for a few of the gifts while Santa is responsible for the remainder. I can totally understand the sales lady asking the kid to help her mom get a surprise for her father, since that seems like a pretty typical thing for a wife to do for her husband and the lady was just trying to get the kid to help with that. But in light of the repeated warnings she's gotten over Christmas shenanigans there's really not much defense for her to give when all of those other incidents are placed along side this one.

This on it's own isn't worth a firing but if the rest of the info about her conduct is correct then she should have seen it coming and known they'd be looking for any reason to get rid of her-sounds like she wasn't well suited to the work anyway so they did her a favour and hopefully she'll find something she enjoys more.
