I dont know.
If I worked at Walmart, and they told me I had no choice but to work Thanksgiving Day...
I might have to tell the Boss to go to Hell.
Walmart is now going to be open Thanksgiving Day?
Seriously?
They cant wait till Friday to start the Holiday Shopping?
Why the fuck would they ruin their employees Thanksgiving Day by opening?

But I see and hear the BIG news that Walmart will start Black Friday early this year, by opening on Thanksgiving Day.
Either way.
Forcing Americans to work Thanksgiving Day is just wrong in my eyes.
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
that's the way it has been at our shop when we have been swamped.
I wonder if Thanksgiving is changing with it not being as much of a family day.
I've never done Black Friday and shopping on our Thanksgiving will never happen
but both my kids have gone to the after midnight sales and JB is an early riser
on Friday for the sales. I don't buy much and rely a lot on the web.
Shopping doesn't appeal as much to me since I've gotten older.
I would also hope that Americans are spending time with there families, getting fat on Turkey, and watching football. I don't know if this speaks worse of Walmart, or our society.
I just dont get it.
Doesnt look like something I would enjoy.
Actually it looks like nothing but torture!
A store has 10 TV's marked down half price.
So 3,485 people line up in front of the store, waiting for the doors to open Friday at 3am.
Just so they can all run into that store, and beat the living hell out of each other, and walk away with one of those 10 TV's.
Wait a second..
Black Friday might be one hell of a good time!

My Friday after Thanksgiving?
Go back to Mom's, Dad and I drag all the leftovers out, we make plates of food that believe it or not, are bigger than the plates of food we ate the day before. Then dad sits in his lazy boy, I sit on the couch, we grab the TV remote and say, "There has to be a college game on somewhere", eat our food, and pass out 15 minutes later.

1. because they can
2. because people want "stuff"

At least all the employees get paid a decent wage and have good health insurance.

It breaks down to supply and demand. The companies can sell 100's of TV's or 10 and the latter will have more people pushing to get them early and while they are there and dispondent they will spend money to feel better about themselves and get passed the feeling of let down when they dont get that TV.
I love Thanksgiving more than any other Holiday because for me it is about family. I think that all stores, gas stations, and any other business should be closed for the celebration of the country and our families. But it only takes 1 person to stay open to make everyone else do.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
I believe it does much more than the business who chooses to be open.
Black Friday has started earlier each year really not surprising it's starting
the evening before. Where there is demand there is an answer for it.
Thanksgiving in the future generations may not have the importance
but I will hang onto tradition
example of the squeeze: decreased wages (work more for less $), food, transportation costs, healthcare costs (pay more get less)
I know in dirty jersey it opened at I think at 8 ON THANKSGIVING.
on top of holiday shopping.
I worked retail in the 80s and was there for the holidays...people were like fucking animals just trying to get IN the store, let alone how they acted once they entered. Totally turned me off to the whole "shopping" experience - online's the way I roll now!
I wonder how much business they'll actually do on that day? Hope the folks working get some nice OT.
My wife works there. She gets a good wage, good health insurance, paid holidays and vacation, bonuses and the company gives her stock.
She volunteered to work late on Thanksgiving.
Honestly, I don;t really have a problem with it. My wife and I disagree about this type of thing often. Black Friday can be family time too.
A truly disgusting example of greed and intimidation by Wal-Mart towards their employees.
