They will be there with or without me. But I personally cant be among the reasons WHY they will be there. I understand profit margins and competition, but I think these places ought to respect their workers enough not to rip them away from their kids during one of Americas most beloved holidays. And if I think that, I could not possibly go to one of these establishments and make them serve me. Capitalism is great, but some things are greater. Family is greater. Yes, these folks choose to work at these stores. Yes, they likely knew when they signed up that theyd be sacrificing their Thanksgivings. Yes, at least they have jobs. Yes, sure, and so what? If thats enough in your mind to justify participating in the destruction of a great American tradition -- good for you. But you COULD wait until Friday, couldnt you? And if you did wait until Friday, and if everyone waited until Friday, no store would ever open on Thanksgiving again, right? So you COULD take steps to protect Thanksgiving from the decay of materialism and consumerism, and, while youre at it, give this wonderful holiday back to the customer service representatives who have been forced to abandon it and cater to the stampeding throngs, right? huffingtonpost/matt-walsh/shopping-on-thanksgiving_b_4310109.html
