Many large retail stores like Target, Walmart, Toys R Us, Sears, and KMart will be the first chain retail stores to be open early for "Black Friday" shopping on Thanksgiving Day at 8 pm. Some other retail chains will stay open for Thanksgiving too for the first time.
Employees are against it, because they will not be able to spend important and traditional holiday with their family, and must show up to work (even hours before opening). More than 100,000 people have signed petition to change it, so stores keep closed all day on Thanksgiving for quality of life for the employees.
The CEO's and higher-ups who makes the decision on when to open the stores are the ones' who won't be working on Thanksgiving & Black Friday. They'll be home with their families (May probably check sales hourly so they can calculate how much bonus they will be receiving), while the people who need their minimum wage jobs are the ones' who will be missing out on Thanksgiving with their families. It's an example of how the rich are messing up with the low-income people
^ This is ridiculous and very sad how our society has been turned into. Stores are only closed for 1 - 3 days per year (used to be even on more holidays), but now they try to take away those too.
Thank God the town I live in, stores cannot be open before 7 AM (Including Black Friday) and must close at 11 PM, even though some tried to fight for keeping them open at 5 AM, or earlier for Black Friday.
This is due to Quality of Life for residents, workers, and business owners'!
ALL retail employees deserves to be OFF and get paid for Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day!
They sound like a bunch if 12 year old girls. If they font like it tell them to find a new job. Nobody cares...
Why is the largest amount of screaming about the greedy greedy retailers and not the greedy greedy shoppers that they are catering to?
Maybe all of you who are so violently opposed should give up part of this years Thanksgiving day to stand outside the stores and convince them all to go home to their families.
While you're at it, remind them as good little Christians , Xmas isn't about shopping.
I don't think customers would like that. At the end of the day, the retail industry's loyalty is to customers. That includes the owners and the employees.
Ain't customer service a b*tch? Given the entitlement attitude, it's no wonder today's younger workers have a higher unemployment rate than the rest of the population.

When companies treats you terrible, give you terrible benefits, pays you the minimum wage, working on silly hours, forced to work on holiday, etc. that's why you get bad customer service. Don't be surprised
