Nobody shops on Black Friday anyway. They pillage and scavenge, while leaving behind some money as a small mercy to the destroyed shops and businesses.
We were open on thanksgiving and people that were shopping kept saying to me "it's awful that you guys are open on thanksgiving..." Like... you're literally the reason we're open

Yeah I hated working Thanksgiving at my old retail job.
lol seriously people in the store sayin its awful they are open is the most hilarious shit i've heard in ages. people are amazing. i'm down with like a cvs or a gas station being open but real stores being open is some shit.
thanksgiving. black friday is not a holiday. probably an awful day to work retail but thats nothing to do with missing any family time, only because people are fucking terrifying and stupid. but then i find just a normal sunday in a store goddamned awful
the opening at 6 or so is extra absurd because really thanksgiving is celebrated mostly in the evening... its like.... okay now that its time for the whole traditional part of the holiday, get your ass to work! i mean, i always have to work holidays, but i chose to work in an industry that it mostly makes sense to be 24/7/365 and the lack of family is a part of why i was down with that, but lower wage retail jobs? its like geeez shit on someone else for once.
*no one shops on Black Friday*
But yeah i felt the same way
