I see you're from the Dallas area. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not a Cowboys hater, and not a fan either as I'm just impartial shall we say. However; it would be nice to see them mix it up a bit.
LOL, oh I know, I saw that and just started chuckling. It is like when someone complains that there is too much butter in something as if that's a bad thing. I'll say the same thing.
I for one- am againts working Turkey day- those attacking the OP are probably OFF to feed their faces, so they do not care. THIS is the problem- Americans don't care bout other Americans anymore. I remember several years I served some 18/20 soldiers at my house - because it was like HOME... and they ate, laughed, watched games etc etc and this is important. Maybe not be biblical but its is morally uplifting. You will see what this non- social behaviour is cultivating- when this generation grows up with-out family values and they put you in the incinerators because you take up too much space and food as an old person--- I am already old, so this wil fall on you. Keep it up.
OP was so busy thinking like a democrat and liberal that they railed against the business but failed to see that if people didn't go shopping on the holiday then the stores would not open. Notice OP doesn't rail against the people for shopping.
Since it's black friday deal, unfortunately there will always be greedy customers wanting to be first in line to get that deal. No customers expects places to be open for Thanksgiving!!!

So you are missing the point. I'll make it easy. They would not open if people didn't go shopping.

TV station employees? Gas station employees? Medical personnel? Police? Firefighters? Hotel staff? Bus drivers? Utility company employees? Who gets to pick?
I would guess for the same reason the Midwest and South still have effective blue laws, because they think it's the right thing to do.
It is not just the mid-west and southern States with Blue Laws still in effect. Unfortunately, you will find them in effect in every State in the Union. Including Alaska, which is as far from the mid-west and the south as it gets.
