Tis the season, once again upon us, when an age old tradition returns to cities and towns across the nation. I donât mean the usual Thanksgiving feasts of yesterday or even the commercial mayhem of Black Friday.

But who are these protesters, really? One might assume that they are stock clerks, register operators, greeters and the rest of the employees who keep the nationâs largest retailer open.

on two occasions, to local (non confrontational signature gatherers), I asked where do you do all of your shopping?)
Answers were pretty much as to be expected; we support all local business’s, but...
