Retail employees complaining about working on the most profitable day of the year is like accountants complaining about missing out on the early April flowers. If they got commission on sales, I would see your point.

FAMILY...spell that out and tell me why being open 18 hours starting at 6:00 AM on Black Friday isn’t enough.
To: VaRepublican
Ya know what? nevermind. Golly gee whiz maybe all those poor retail folks should go on strike and protest their poor treatment, and then they can “take down the man”.

Black Friday is for sleeping late, eating more turkey, putting up Christmas lights, eating still more turkey and more sleep.
One of my favorite days of the year.

What a comeback, Jethro. That sixth grade education paid off for you.

I have never gone shopping on Black Friday in my life. I do not expect that to ever change.
I’ve never worked retail, although I have done other poopie jobs. If retailers pay bonuses or OT or something to compensate for the madness, then the employees shouldn’t complain. But if they’re like suffer or get fired, they suck, IMO.

About 25 years ago, I used to work in retail; and had to work long holiday hours and deal with lots of humanity. For a year I worked at a bakery and had to work on Christmas day. It came with the territory.
I look for Black Friday online deals; but there is no way I'm lining up at 4:00 or 5:00 AM and risk getting trampled to get a "good deal". The day after Thanksgiving is more important to me as a day off than as a shopping day.

I agree. This push Christmas buying thing is going too far. People have lost the real meaning of “Christmas”.

People might have preferred sleeping in. I hit the bike trails Thanksgiving morning (usually reveling in cutting through the mall parking lot for the last time that year) and Tucson is a ghost town then. Other cities may be different though, we’re pretty laid back here.
