Why would stores opt to open on Thanksgiving? Consumer demand perhaps. Is it only large retail stores who are evil? gas stations and convenience stores are open holidays. The police departments are working holidays. Our Military is working on holidays. Oh yeah the factory I work in was open and we worked Thanksgiving. You know what I was thankful for? I have a good job that pays well and I have benefits. The fact that we needed to run on a holiday to make quota is good news.
I would say that retail stores should offer time and half or double time to compensate the employees for their sacrfice.
You and others can help by refusing to go on Thanksgiving but my understanding is that folks are already camping out for Black Friday so probably won't help much.
This is generally how i see it.
I'm simply not gonna participate in it. It's ridiculous for people to leave their families on Thanksgiving to go stock shelves at Target.
I just can't understand why Americans are so damn crazy about consumption. Do they ever stop with the goddamn shopping? Geez.
Keep stores CLOSED on Sundays, raise minimum wage to $10 and everyone would love working in retail with no complain
I'm not gonna get into the wage issue.
But i do think that this country needs to shut down one day a week and nothing more than gas stations and emergency services should be open. It used to be that way at one time.

There are some areas in NJ where places are closed on Sunday, it is highly annoying when you need to run an errand or something. No need to be closed for a day "just because" there really is not a benefit to it, it was originally done for religious reasons and there is no need to continue that.
