Remember when stores and places were closed for holidays?

[Professor Emeritus]

Most business are closed...coffee shops and Chinese food restaurants, and a few others are regularly open, and gas like you said.

Growing up my family always ate Chinese food on Christmas Eve cause my mom was too busy with all the other shyt and didn't wanna cook. That was literally the one and only time we went out for Chinese food each year.

Some people get paid double if they decide to work on holidays.

My dad had a good union, used to get paid 2.5 times if he worked a holiday, or get paid 1.5 times and choose an extra day off somewhere else.

I REFUSE TO PATRONIZE ANY STORES ON CHRISTMAS. SAME FOR THANKSGIVING. SEND THOSE PEOPLE HOME TO BE WITH THEIR FAMILIES.

I stopped by Starbucks this morning and felt a lil sad I made them work today but my latte was good tho.

I don't know about anywhere else but the pandemic did a reset in my area. Stores USED to be open during the holidays.

Everything closes down on holidays after covid.

Even the stores that used to be open all night before covid (not holiday hours, just regular hours) close by 11 now.

I hate it.

This is so true. Everything be closed at 11 now

Even my local Walmart isn’t 24 hours anymore

Wawa is the only thing that’s open late.

Driving to Austin and back saw Dennys and IHOP were open along with Burger King and McDonalds. Packed parking lots and long ass lines at all of em. Lotta Chinese spots open too. And Churchy’s.

Everybody was closed around here except Wallgreens and gas stations. Place was a ghost town at 1pm which never ever happens and fukked me up. Looked like the apocalypse.

Wal Mart pretty much scrapped 24 hours after the pandemic. Now....workers still work overnight. Probably a chill job as long as your manager isn't an a$$hole.

 

[Da King]

shyt my pharmacy/drug Mart is open. Poor guys

But I also need pie, so I'm considering it....

A pie from the drug mart?

That’s wild. I guess it’s better for business though.

 

[BunchePark]

it use to be the Chinese spot only

took the dog on a long ass walk after opening all the gifts with my kids and saw Dunkin donuts open and it threw me off

I'm sure people wanted the hours but still give people some time off

Everybody doesn't celebrate Christmas, get over yourselves.
