Soapbox: Shopping on Thanksgiving
While I know my one tiny opinion means nothing, I need to vent.
Who shops on freakin' Thanksgiving?
Who asks people to take time away from their families to come in to work, so that people can shop?
I'm so disturbed this year by the stores that opened on Thanksgiving, or for that matter, before 4 AM. This "new" consumerism is disgusting to me.

Re: Soapbox: Shopping on Thanksgiving
Your new siggy = amazing.
And I agree with you...I refused to support stores (unless absolutely necessar, like I needed tampons on Thanksgiving) that are open and take their employees away from family and friends on Thanksgiving. I don't dig.
I think this is the worst part, stores rarely close and this is a family holiday. Our local target workers started a petition not to opens until 6 am but were told, they would just hire other workers.

My sister works at ON and she had to work yesterday 11-8. She didn't get to our dinner until 8:30 and she had to reheat leftovers for dinner.
She has to work today, too.
She said their store didn't do much for sales yesterday, so she's crossing her fingers that more stores were the same and that corporate will decide to not open on Thanksgiving next year.

This is the worst year I can remember. I admit, I did some shopping yesterday, but it was online shopping as I was cooking my turkey.
When I was about 10, mom and 2 of my aunts went to K-Mart thanksgiving night while the guys watched football. I don't even remember buying anything, we just wanted to get out of the house. I remember then thinking it was horrible people had to work it. I am so glad I don't work retail anymore.

I don't think it's THAT bad. The people that I know that work retail all got paid double time, and had a choice of going in or not. My sister is a manager at ON and she didn't have her employees go in until 11pm- an hour before they opened. They set everything up the night before.
It's not much different than Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, Kroger, fast food restaurants etc. being open... and they always are on TG. (At least here?) Nurses and doctors and such always have to work too... it's not like it's so far out of the realm of possibilities to have to work retail (in the evening) of TG. IMO when you work retail in the holiday season, you should know that it's going to be a possibility. *shrug*
