Everyone at the diner is the Christmas spirit, that is, except Mel who has turned into a modern day Ebenezer Scrooge, begins using "humbug" as a Christmas greeting, refuses to give the girls Christmas bonuses, and tries to force them to work on Christmas Eve. After they quit in a huff, the ghost of Mel's old partner scares the dickens out of him.
