364 OTHER days of the year just aren't enough, huh? Because they'll starve to death without that Thanksgiving holiday money.
So what? Does every commercial establishment in your area force you into them?
Did you stay home (posting on CD) yesterday because you chose to?
That's the crux of the matter....choice.
No more to say to those that think their choice must be everyone else's.
Bye.
Pizza Hut, La Pizza, Pizzeria Da Antonio or Kotipizza, what difference does it make?
Ok..let's reset.
I said that in the E.U. nations, most everything is closed on weekends and holidays with the exception of certain restaurants, etc...
This means that if you go to Paris for example, you'll be able to get a seat at "certain" restaurants.
Now if we look at tourists coming to the United States during the Thanksgiving holiday, they can probably find certain restaurants open, but PLEASE don't tell me that they're looking forward to their Pizza Hut dinner in America. Non Americans generally have more sense than that.
Here's the thing; they fired him and then rehired him which pretty much tells me all I need to know. They knew they were wrong...bottom line. Otherwise, they would've stuck to their guns.

I've had to work holidays many times. Many people do. What if air traffic controllers simply decided they were going to shut down on a holiday?
It sure would suck for you if you had a heart attack and called for an ambulance only to hear a recording to call back tomorrow as they took the holiday's off.
There's a difference between essential personnel and a pizza restaurant manager.
I've worked Thanksgivings and Christmas's on and off for the last 25 years, but that doesn't make me think other people need to as well. The lights have to be on, but pizza does not have to be served.
I get well compensated for working holidays, but I'm sure this guy was expected to work for no extra pay.
Not dead at all; but I guess we have to agree on a definition of "dead".
Dead to me is where everything is closed, except emergency services and a 7/11.
Many places close not because it is Sunday, but just because the lack of business on that day. Areas that are business districts are often shut down on the weekends.
My years living in Europe and traveling there, I never came across places I would call "dead".
