Just pasting the link below, so folks can read the message and become brainwashed by this diabolical corporation who's sole objective is to improve their bottom line by closing the store one day a year and diabolically increasing merchandise costs for customers while decreasing membership dividends.
And for the love of god don't buy Patagonia. They don't want you buying clothes at all, since the environment cost is too great! Who knows what evil scheme they are up to!

Of course. I have no issue with Black Friday itself, or Saturdays and Sundays, but retail is nonessential on the holiday itself. IMO there is no need for retail employees to be working on Thanksgiving. And it is also my opinion that opening at midnight on Friday, or anytime before 6 am, is taking it too far, but that's just me.
No, it's me, too, though I don't think retail stores should be open any earlier than their regularly scheduled hours.

Right? People travel for Thanksgiving, sometimes they are up late traveling home or cleaning up or because families stay together until past midnight, and I just don't think it's fair to ask a retail employee to come in so early the day after a major national holiday. I mean, Thanksgiving is really the only day where pretty much all of America celebrates, and it's an important holiday. It's our one major, secular holiday. Fourth of July is the other, obviously, but there is no equivalent to Black Friday after the Fourth.

I also don't think it's fair for the bread and butter, reasonable, rational "regular" shoppers, either.
Because I refuse to wake up to go shopping in the early a.m., I don't go shopping at all after Thanksgiving, not online, not at regular hours at the stores, either, because by then all the merchandise is messed up, the best deals are gone and the shoppers and staff are not in the best of moods.
Then, because I cannot get the deals (and won't shop online, because I want the local stores to remain in my community), I don't shop at all.
Fortunately, last year a few of the stores where we shop put out their best deals before Thanksgiving, and we did a lot of shopping there. Normal hours, during the week, and great deals.
Youre the one puking because I applaud a store for allowing its employees to stay at home and celebrate a holiday with family instead of having to stand behind a counter and deal with hundreds of pushing, shoving, loud-mouthed idiot customers?
If you're that naive, I have some beachfront property here in Colorado for you.
There are no lakes in Colorado with beaches?
Oh, did you mean "oceanfront property"?
