Do Target workers deserve a shortened Black Friday?

[Marcellus]

If you don't want to work Thanksgiving work on finding a job that allows you to be off.

Where is the outrage over the Golden Coral Restaurant employees or the Bob Evans restaurant employees? Or the Holiday Inn employees?

Target and WalMart aren't the only service industries or retail stores working and others have been doing it forever.

Also and if it is such an outrage then nobody should show up to shop, but that wont happen so............

Because those are service industries where employees basically volunteer in exchange for time and a half. And they aren't there managing a nightmarish stampede of customers. I also doubt there's much ability to use vacation time.

I don't care about holiday hours for retail, as long as its clear that people an volunteer for shifts. Pretty clear that didn't happen in target, nor does it sound like they gave their employees time to prepare.
