Most department stores decided to open at 8 PM on Thanksgiving evening in order to compete, and now Simon malls decided to keep their malls open at 8 pm as well all until 10 pm on Black Friday for 26 hours straight, and told all retail stores located in the mall to follow mall holiday hours.
Wow what an evil world we have been turned into. I would be fine if CEO's and corporates left their families on important holidays and worked in the stores themselves that day. Such a greedy, cold hearted and selfish!
I hope that everyone contacts their local congressman to pass a law that forbids retailers to be open on major family holidays!!!!!! Unfortunately online petitions don't work because corporates ignore them despite hundreds of thousands of signatures mainly from workers!
Gahh greedy corporates! Isn't 362 days a year enough?!

May God destroy and punish greedy corporates!!
Who are you that you get to tell someone they can't be open for business???
There is an easy answer. People need to stop being so materialistic and spend the holiday with their families. If people didn't go shopping on those days they wouldn't do it so to blame corporations is lame.
Not one person in my family shops those days how about yours?
So what's wrong if a company decides to be open for thanksgiving? Just because you don't like it doesn't mean there aren't many who like the idea of being able to shop.
And if someone complains about a retail store being open on thanksgiving, I hope they don't need to put gas in their car while driving to visit family. I hope they don't intend to fly in anywhere that day as well. Or take a taxi. Or forget the pie and have to go to the store.
Plenty of places are open on Thanksgiving day as the world still goes on. It just seems retail is getting a lot of bashing because they are trying to make money. Last I checked, that's the reason for having a store to begin with.
If you don't like the idea of places being open on Thanksgiving, stay home. Your decision. Just like it's peoples personal decision to take jobs in places they know they'll probably have to work that day.
The men have sat around drinking beer all day watching football and ate turkey and passed out on the couch what are the girls supposed to do? Watch their husbands snoor with drool all over their face or go shopping
