But when people complain about stores being open on Thanksgiving, a day you're supposed to spend with loved ones, they say "too bad, they should get another job"?
Any thoughts on this? is it purely a religious stance?
CFA has followed their own convictions and is successful. We always appreciate successful deviance from mainstream thought as innovators who 'did it my way'. Even Frank sang about doing it his way.
It is comforting to know that a day of rest can be incorporated into business and be successful doing it.
CFA had become a media underdog and people generally love an underdog.
Study history. I worked for Thrifty Drugs in the 70's. Yep we were open on Christmas. Thanksgiving, and New Years Day, as well as every other recognized holiday. As were all the convenience stores. As were other direct competitors. I dont remember there being a Walmart back then.
where exactly would someone find this in a history book?
I'm an atheist, but if it's Christianity that motivates Chick-Fil-A to give their workers Sundays off, then I support them for it. It's great when business leaders believe in something other than money.
I get so pissed when I feel like a Chick-Fil-A , then I realize it's Sunday I'd join the Gays and Protest, but then I see Rainbow stickers on cars in the Chick-Fil-A drive in all the time.
Here's a thought, a lot of folks WANT to work on Thanksgiving for the extra money.
Agree. Everyone does not celebrate these holidays, and some would be glad to work to get out of having to deal with them.
They have become too stressful and we have scaled back so that if someone in the family has to work or chooses to work it's fine. We'll come by and visit them or they can come over later or visit the next day, whatever. Everyone doesn't have to be doing the same thing at the same time. It brings out the worst in people when you feel you have to deal with holidays you may not even enjoy or believe in, and go through all the stresses that seem to be required. Just a regular working day would be welcome for some. Then some people don't celebrate those Big holidays at all so it means nothing for them to work. Love those Chinese restaurants and the places that are open on Thanksgiving day for those who don't or can't cook dinner.
Who says this? I don't care they are closed on Sundays and I find it a travesty stores are open on Thanksgiving. No one should have to work on a holiday so people can buy more material junk they don't need in the first place. Can it really not wait until Friday morning? I am not religious at all.
You might not be religious, but you apparently think some of your beliefs should be forced on other people via the machinery of the state; that tells me all I need to know.

Two principles most Americans uphold: freedom of religion, free enterprise.
