I will say this once and then not speak of it again...maybe. I am morally opposed to stores opening at midnight on Black Friday, and don't even get me started on the ones opening on Thanksgiving night. I think that it is disrespectful to the employees and is essentially telling them that they do not matter and that they do not deserve to have a holiday. I also think that there's no reason to and that sure, if you don't, people will be mad because they can't buy something that they're just going to return anyway, but frankly, people don't need reasons to be mad these days. They just are. They don't need any excuses to act like spoiled children and treat employees like they aren't really people. They just do. And if stores open at midnight (and at least one seems to be opening at 10 on Thanksgiving), then what's to stop them from just being open on Thanksgiving and saying, hey, find time to get with your family some other day...oh wait, you can't ask for any days off between now and Christmas. Oh well. How do you feel about Thanksgiving in February?
(And before you get up on your high horses, I have had to work on Thanksgiving and it basically ruined the day and I missed out on my family and now that four out of the eight people who were there are now dead, they're memories that I'll never get back or get to have again.)
(And frankly, if they do that, who's to stop them from being open until midnight on Christmas Eve? Family, it's overrated, right? I'm not actually supposed to have one, right? Holidays are for other people. I guess I missed that memo.)
