I worked in management for a large retail corporation for 5 years and never heard about any hourly employee being forced to work a 20 hour day.

That's the basic reasoning behind black Friday....IMO if they want to start the sales thanksgiving day, start them at 11pm or midnight so people can spend the day with family and go to the store around 8pm to get the sale going.

The sale starts at 9PM at Target. So you figure they have to be there 1-2 hours before it opens (which could be less depending on how the store is setup). You're telling me that all day Thanksgiving until 7 PM isn't enough time? If it isn't....go get a ****ing different job.

I don't hear any health care workers complaining about working holidays.

Everyone I know that works in those hospitals WANT to work those holidays... it is double time. They usually have a list of people wanting to work.

Nobody is forced to enter into an employment agreement.

And you guys aren't paying close attention. Target is NOT trying to one up Wal-mart or other stores because they are one of the ones not opening at 8 pm. Sure they don't want to miss out but they are least opening an hour later. And this crap about them getting there a few hours early? Maybe management but the regular workers have no reason to get there before 8:30 if the place was prepared properly the day and night before. |

How is this not an attempt to one up each other? Two years ago Wal-Mart opened at midnight, last year they opened at 10 PM and this year they're opening at 8 PM with Target following suit and opening at 9 PM. |

Oh my God.....I should totally get a petition together because on Election day....my job makes me work 20-22 hours in one day. And then I have to turn around and be here the next day at 8 AM.
Oh wait....I get paid overtime. I should shut my ****ing mouth. |

The overtime doesn't always happen. Usually doesn't unless they're working more than 8 hours in a shift. Just because it's "black Friday" doesn't mean they get extra pay. Just another minimum wage day.

If they're hired as part time employees......they already know that. The store doesn't have to give them 40 hours.

Most of them are probably convicts or drug users so I say **** em anyways. They probably don't have any family to speak of anyways. Low lifes who deserve to be looked down upon.

Most major retailers pay "holiday pay" which is a guaranteed 8 hours on top of your normal pay.
