Yeah, that's always funny when people say that. Who are you to tell someone what they should and shouldn't do with their time? Maybe they see their families all the damn time and don't need that one bullshit ass holiday to celebrate. Maybe they have no family.

Maybe they're camping out with their family, enjoying leftovers in the parking lot of Best Buy, reminiscing about the 10 hours they just spent together.

Meh, I honestly hate the business' for doing this to their employees.

Is it voluntary for all employees? If so, then I can see it. I have a hard time believing they don't require all hands on deck though. The short stint I did at Best Buy, Black Friday was required for everyone. I would think Thanksgiving day would not be any different.

Time and a half seems to be little compensation for dealing with all those crazy people, but I'm sure it's just another day to work for many... I've worked Thanksgiving Day and did tech support on a few Black Fridays, and it's not a big deal when it's an expectation. Do the family stuff another day, get holiday pay, and maybe even another vacation day.

A lot of good points brought up. In a perfect world no one would work on any holiday but that's just impractical.
People travel and need gas. Crime/domestic disputes/traffic violations don't stop so we need police/fire/paramedics. A ton of restaurants are open 365 days a year as well. Why all the fuss for retail workers? |

I don't partake in the Black Friday nonsense myself. Last time I did was back in 09. I waited until about 6 pm to hit up Best Buy. Ended up walking out with a new TV and an Xbox 360 bundle.
Would prefer to save my money at this particular point in time. |
