Thank you DIRTYSECRET. I had to read 185 posts but you finally said what needs to be said.
Retail selling is not emergency work, medicine, or the armed forces. Ever earlier department store hours on Black Friday and now Thanksgiving are driven by greed and oneupmanship. It disgusts me. No one can tell me the person who buys the video game on Thanksgiving evening would not buy the same item on following day at 10:00 am if the store wasn’t open on Thanksgiving. Ditto for being open on Christmas. Normal retail should not be open those days.
Business owners who do not honor our AMERICAN traditions just to make a quick buck should be shunned by the public.
The real point is NO ONE is forced to work or shop at Walmart. If you are an employee and don’t like the way they treat employees- QUIT. If you are a customer and don’t like how they do business- then don’t shop there. It really is very simple.
