Nope. There are discounts galore. Would the world throw me discounts because it's my birthday? Probably not. Also, most holidays are just another ordinary day for me, I see nothing special in it except for a few fun ones like Halloween and Thanksgiving. Those two are just simple excuses to drink and eat and throw parties otherwise holidays mean nothing to me except a day off.
The only thing unfortunate about is it that liquor stores close early that day. I'm an atheist, most of my friends are agnostic, atheist or don't take their own religion seriously, it hampers nothing except getting drunk.
I work a little differently. I care not who starts what, this isn't school. But, if arguing persists I shut things down. I don't point fingers, that does nothing in most cases. I saw multiple people going out of control so I closed the thread and it ends at that. Keeps things light instead of chaos heavy.
