Sundays have become shopping days. Holidays are now shopping days.
Consumers can end this commercialism by staying home and shopping Monday-Saturday and never on a holiday. Retailers can only make money if customers show up.
I can tell you from experience, never shopping on Sundays is not a problem.
Yes it is the consumer that drives retail, anyone that wants to stop holiday shopping so the employees can be with their families needs to stay home on those days. If enough people did that the stores would not make money being open so they would close.
I have never shopped these sales, I have worked holidays many times. I imagine people will continue to mob the stores and the stores need employees to make sales so anyone that doesn’t want to work holidays will likely have to find other work. Before some of you post to me that there is no other work now- if that is true then those people need to thank their lucky stars they have a job and work as hard as they can so their employer makes enough money to keep them employed.
