By definition an attempt to one up other retailers would be them opening at the same time or earlier. They knew when the competition was opening but they at least delayed it an hour. |

So your saying that if you buy the TV at regular price at 3 pm you are supporting soldiers but if you buy the sale price at 3 am you aren't? I guess you don't have a TV, computer, or cell phone then.

I think it's ridiculous they are opening on Thanksgiving. Definitely not going to shop on Thanksgiving. Hopefully nobody else does.

Unless you are a person that has advocated for movie theater people working holidays in the past all you people complaining about this should just now.

Bowling is also popular. I have maximum job flexability worked at a job where working those holidays was just part of it...you knew it going in and it wasn't at all a big deal. Was actually somewhat enjoyable because everyone at these places was close. Like the holidays with a second family. I also have a laid back family that celebrates the holidays whenever it is easiest to get together. A lot of times that was the day after Christmas. Oh well...good times still had by all. |

Yeah, I really don't see the problem either. Some businesses are open holidays and have their biggest days on holidays.

I remember when I was a kid it was hard to find any store open on Thanksgiving and if it was after 12 noon , everything was closed.

Movie theaters have been opened holidays as long as I can remember yet people don't complain about that. Unless a person has advocated for them, they have no room to complain about the retail companies opening early here.

I can't think of very many people that wouldn't throw a shit fit if the Thanksgiving holiday they have always been allowed to have was forcably taken away from them.

If you really don't want to work that bad just call in sick.
As long as you don't have a history I don't think the company can do much |
