Stores Open on Thanksgiving
Just had to get this out. . .
I hate that stores are open on Holidays! I know certain places have to be open and people must work such as hospitals, nursing homes etc. but it is out of control. My view is spend the holidays with family and if you don't have friends or family in your area then volunteer at a shelter or soup kitchen. Most of the places that were open today hire min. wage workers and make them come in for straight pay. Single mothers are away from their children because someone feels the need to shop! My view is buy what you need the night before, borrow from a neighbor what you forgot or DO WITHOUT! Most of us have plenty and wouldn't miss the rolls or cranberries someone forgot to pick up. I just think it's sad that we treat the Holidays just like any other day. Just think if no one bought a single thing from these stores on holidays they would think twice before being open the next year. The next time you make a purchase on a holiday remember that your keeping someone from spending time with their family.
Thanks for letting me get that out! LOL
