Yes, I'm posting this again. But it needs to be said every year. If you go shopping on Thanksgiving, gently caress you. Now, the argument can be made "Well the retail workers have jobs, don't they? I'm giving them money so they can stay employed! I"m HELPING!" You know what? There's 360+ other days of the year you can give a retail establishment money. No store will go out of business if you personally don't go there on Thanksgiving. Also, the argument can be made that other people have to work on thanksgiving. Nurses, police, fire, etc all work, right? You're correct. They do. However, the difference is that those are necessary functions of society that have to operate every single day. People get sick or hurt and fires start 365 days a year. However, your greedy rear end can wait another day to buy that big rear end TV. You don't even get the best deals on Black Friday anyway. By going to the store on Thanksgiving, you are directly responsible for retail workers having to give up most or all of their holiday to serve you. You're justifying the decision the company made to take the day away from their workers. If you want to go out on Friday, go nuts. Hell, empty your drat bank account. But wait until the day after.

What about buying poo poo before noon? Is that ok Op? Some of us have careers and families that keep us from running to the store at noon on a weekday like retail part-timers can.

I used to love going out on black Friday with a couple friends, not to buy anything, but to just enjoy the spectacle. Moving the opening times to Thursday and staggering them across the stores really ruined this. I say bring back the midnight openings and free-for-alls to maximize consumer death.

Do workers in the US get extra pay or time off in lieu if they work a holiday?

Technically you're supposed to get double-time on holidays but most places don't do that since there's no way to enforce this unless the employee reports them. Most people are terrified of reporting their employers because they're so poor and need their jobs so desperately.

How about, don't sell the idea of owning a big TV as meaning you've "made it," in order to hook poor people into high-interest debt.

NoDoorway posted:Do workers in the US get extra pay or time off in lieu if they work a holiday? Time and a half, since it's a bank holiday and jobs give you hourly holiday pay everywhere in the US. Every retail place I've ever worked at had volunteer sign-up sheets for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter so you could sign up if you didn't have any family that live nearby and weren't flying out for Thanksgiving. I've never worked a Thanksgiving Day in my life because retail companies aren't fuckin stupid and know that they can bait in a skeleton crew to work for an overall lesser amount of money that day than paying a normal day of staff.

I disagree. gently caress you if you go out to buy poo poo on black friday too. People literally die because americans are such giant commercial whores, you know. Like, almost every black friday someone gets stampeded to death over cheap tvs. Knock it the gently caress off. You won't die because you miss out on cheap garbage. Try to be a little less shallow plz.
