Homespun's Least Helpful Employees stopped by Holidazzle yesterday to help ring up some customers. Thanks to those patient customers! 🤣

In other news, Santa has no idea what a Tamagotchi is. 🎅

(BTW Muddy Mouth Cards - they rang up some of your cards so I felt comfortable stealing your position titles. They joined your Least Helpful Employee and Director of Unhelpfulness in their ranks.)
