Though an athiest/Jew/Hindu/etc being offended or not shopping somewhere because someone says "Merry Christmas" to them is just as silly as refusing to shop somewhere because they said Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas.

It is a carved-into-the-very-fundamental-physical-properties-of-the-universe rule that misstating a phone number in a very public setting will always result in directing people to a phone sex number. Three times over the last three years at my current job I've been involved with emergency fixes to deal with incorrect phone numbers that reached production on web pages. Every single one of those wrong numbers (each different) was a phone sex number.
