My sister was a waitress and bartender all her working life. She would always go out of her way to work holidays, especially Christmas, because of the tips then.
I worked retail for a short time. At one point, people were lobbying to give retail workers off on holidays. They didn’t seem to understand that most of us wanted to work holidays because we were paid time-and-a-half. My store had a signup sheet to work on Thanksgiving, and it was filled before I got to it. I worked holidays for many years at other jobs.
