When people say "Happy Birthday" to me I don't respond "hey, I'm not the narcissist you obviously are to think that being born is somehow a special event and failure to die is worthy of note."
I got over that, and now I just take it in the spirit in which it was intended. This store employee obviously intended "Happy Hanukkah" to mean "we've marked you as a Jew and the clean up squad will be visiting your home this evening." So it was very important for the customer to clarify the situation.
