Disgusting......




Next week Target, Kohl's, K-Mart, Sears and many other retailers will be opening their stores for some Thanksgiving hours starting in the evening or earlier.

They join Wal-Mart, which has always been open during Thanksgiving but which this year will be pumping up its holiday discounts to lure determined bargain-hunters into the stores. Plan on consuming a heaping helping of reports and videos of Thanksgiving Day mayhem, some of it possibly lethal, with your turkey leftovers next Friday.

There are 363 other days during the year that you can shop on. Seriously, I fail to see the need for 1 more.

The same folks going out these days are the same ones that look down on folks in third world countries who occasionally have food riots or big government protests. We make a sick quasi-holiday out of our yearly stampede for shyt.

these evil corporations forcing you to leave your house, get in your car, drive to their stores, spend your money on Thanksgiving.

:stopitslime:

The big picture is that these execs are not working but they are forcing a lower working class to labor when that class should be at home with their families on these holidays. These the same companies that will not dish out Health Benefits.....

Ya, everything is about money. Get over it

:pacspit:









Shouldn’t malls, which are family friendly establishments, have good morals and standards that fully support the American family and their values? This is a time for families to come together and enjoy a meal. To catch up. To have fun. Why are mall employees any different?

My store has a staff of 6. So basically you’re asking all of us to therefore put in a 12+ hour day… Absolutely ridiculous.

Nobody cares about personal time with your families.
It's all about squeezing a few extra dollars out of peoples' pockets.

It wouldn't surprise me if some lunatic shoots up one of these stores.
I don't wish that on anyone, mind you.

Eh, it's not like NOBODY works on Holidays so I wouldn't call it unfair unless people are being forced to do it and there are some people that don't mind because they need the money or whatever. When I worked in retail, I worked holidays with no problem. Time and a half and I still saw my fam once I got off.

Also Holidays are the same time every year. You don't want to work? Request off early and give them plenty of notice. Once your request is approved, management can suck ass. I put in my end of the year time off early September.

Not if I asked off in August.

Son, a job can kiss my whole entire ass once my time off has been approved. Now if they say no, that's one thing but they approve it :stylin: Make sure to have it in writing.

its sad. I remember when you never saw stores open on holidays. Then over the years they started creeping up with the early store openings the next day, then creeping up to midnight openings, now they opening on holidays
