I also think that stores should close on Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter and New Years. Give those employees a chance too to be with their families and observe any religious rituals.

Agreed, but don't forget to add the following days to your closure list: Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah, Ramadan, Kwanzaa, and the Summer/Winter Solstices.
Oh dear, it seems not everyone observes the same holidays.

I think that people should not be forced to shop on Sundays. What? They aren't now?

It used to be that Jewish shop owners closed their stores for their religious days as well.

Actually I have no problem with this. If each religion closed for it's holidays, it wouldn't be bad at all.
BTW, Ramadan is a month of fasting. The actual holiday is Eid which ends the fast. It's kind of like saying that we should close for Advent because of Christmas.
