This is a good thing, so I don't want to be too negative. However, I'd like to know how many working hours are being lost by this. As in, if somebody normally worked on a Thursday, but now the store is closed, are they getting hours somewhere else or some sort of vacation pay?
Likewise. In the beginning, when I had to come in at 2 or 3AM on Black Friday, it was one thing. But once they started to encroach to the point where I was showing up 6PM-9PM on Thanksgiving, I was wanting to attack people.Working at Best Buy on Thanksgiving Day was one of the worst experiences of my life. I hope all retail stores follow suit.

Horrible news.
What are people supposed to do at 7pm on Thanksgiving? Are we just supposed to spend time with our families?

I am pretty sure that when Jesus and George Washington invented Thanksgiving it was to fill us up with enough food to give us the energy to shop non stop for the next 3 days.If by "spending time with our families" you mean getting drunk and fixating hard on the football games so you don't have to talk to any of your relatives - yes!
As I recall none of them did because they didn't want massive crowds showing up. They started deals early and tried to increase online sales.I'm shocked, but also did Walmart have deals on black Friday last year? I remember they had their month of black Friday, but I don't think there was anything additional on the day itself
Ah, I forgot. Thanks!As I recall none of them did because they didn't want massive crowds showing up. They started deals early and tried to increase online sales.
There will still be workers there.Make it permanent. Let workers spend time with their families on Thanksgiving.
