Do Target workers deserve a shortened Black Friday?

If they don't have to be to the store until 7 or 8pm, they need to and go to work. I was under the impression that they would have to be there much earlier.

Here is my question, though.

Does the store manager have to be there at the same time as the average Joe workers? I'm not talking about dept managers or mid level guys...does the store manager have to work that night?

A big sales day like that? I bet the store manager is there.

He SHOULD be if they are telling the average joes they have to be.

Oh you know they will make an appearance to stay in good with the district manager but I am sure any manager that is not a n00b won't be spending the whole shift there.

If I worked there and the store manager himself wouldn't at least show up for a couple hours, neither would I.

Well man it's like this.... They probably have a stack of applications 5 foot tall, you can do anything you want, you are not under contract.

Store managers, to my understanding, don't get very many holidays off at all. They're there all the time.

And I think that's a pretty insensitive position to say that any worker who complains about working at 7 or 8 pm ON THANKSGIVING is suddenly forced to work those hours. I don't work in retail. I am thankful that I can eat a heavy dinner at a reasonable hour and get ****ed up on wine and booze with my family and friends.
