Well it is GameStop and Staples now. Wonder if anyone else will join them. On the plus side they are getting lots of free positive publicity. Another big name retailer says family first this Thanksgiving

Except the ones that never did it in the first place like Costco.
They never found out if it would be profitable because they cared about their people enough to not even try.

But it isn't profitable, We always end up with that gigantic lul in people that make being open not worth it.

I'll work all day on Thanksgiving. I'm good for some extra money. No kids, no wife. I can understand though that it's entirely different for a lot of other team members/leaders though

GameStop is actually a store that has people shop on BF, so that's something

That's why they had us take a truck last year. Made the period of time with hardly any guests more productive... That worked so well we left half the truck on the line and had to push it over the next 2 days.

Target will NEVER close on Thanksgiving... I am guessing we will open at 4pm this year!
from what i saw on our printer my stl did the schedule for the etls for november and december. I saw they are schedule to come in at 4 and 5 pm on thanksgiving. Im thinking a 6pm opening again for bf.
He printed it and I guess he forgot about it and left the etl schedule on the printer.

Maybe, but it's a good excuse for families to come together who only see each other a couple times a year.

So. A lot of holidays were created for dumb reasons. For me thanksgiving used to be a day that my whole family (except the few with hospital jobs) can come together to eat and have fun. I still have Christmas for that so I'm not terribly angry about thanksgiving being lost. And I still get a plate to take to work on thanksgiving.
Even if black Friday was on a random ass non holiday Thursday/Friday, I wouldn't understand the hype lol. Like do these people know the internet exists??

See to me Thanksgiving is one of the few holidays that retail hasn't been able to commercialize to death which is why they are paving over it.
Sure the stores are able to sell some turkeys and extra food but there isn't big money to be made so screw that holiday, right?
Now I'm Jewish so Christmas isn't important, while Hanukkah is just a minor holiday that's been jumped up to compete but is really for the kids anyway.
To me Thanksgiving is the only secular holiday that is really based around themes that matter.
Being thankful for the things you have in this life, sharing them with your family and the people who matter to you, spending some quality time with those people, and putting together a special feast/meal/time to celebrate those ideas.
As someone who enjoys cooking, loves my kids, and wants to share in the time I have with them not with a frelling retail job, Thanksgiving is important.
I understand that not everyone feels that way but it pisses me off that companies have crushed Thanksgiving with no consideration for those of us who do.

Thanksgiving should be a holiday but Christmas and easter I would gladly work ( I don't celebrate them) I mean truthfully Christmas and Easter is a religious holiday while Thanksgiving is more of a holiday to spend with the family so therefore it should be closed.
