Customer: I need to ship this package, and it needs to get there as soon as possible.
Me: Okay. *enters in package data, checks possible shipping times* The earliest it can get to the destination is Wednesday, and it costs X dollars.
Customer: What? Why is it taking so long?
Me: Well, it's not going to get picked up from here until Monday afternoon, and there aren't deliveries on Christmas...
Customer: Why not?
Me: Excuse me?
Customer: Why aren't there deliveries on Christmas?
Me: Because it's Christmas?

That would require having candy canes in the store.

And we already have enough Christmas candy that isn't selling.
