:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: Indeed. Good for costco, I agree with this 100%. That's the way it should work, not the government mandating that they be closed or anything like that, just the business doing the right thing.

God you people are dense. If you start at 1am, 2am, or even 3am on Friday, what time do you have to go to sleep on Thursday? Exactly how much of that Thanksgiving dinner do you really get to spend with your family? Not a whole lot.

But, go ahead and keep sucking Costco's cock. Yes, they run a good business, but they aren't special in this regard.

Derp. Thanksgiving dinner for many people is a late lunch, 1-3 pm. You eat, sit in front of the TV and watch football or go out turkey hunting/shooting guns. Then everyone leaves and you clean up and go to bed.

The hell I don't. I live in southern California and make a lot more than Costco people, and not even I can afford a house here. Not Beverly hills, not SF, not even LA proper, but the outer suburbs of LA are unaffordable for a single earner making much less than 100k. No debt. I am in the process of leaving to another state where I can put a roof over my head that someone else doesn't own.
I have a friend who works for Costco. He has a family. They both work. They can barely survive in a 1 bedroom apartment in Orange County. Don't tell me Costco takes care of its people. That's a god damn lie. They still suffer and struggle and live like shit.
My point is our economy sucks, opportunities suck, cost of living sucks and salaries and wages suck. Our system is broken. It doesn't work. People break their backs simply to survive in this country with almost no hope of a retirement, at ALL. If you are a special breed with a big brain and plenty of education and you are making it, good for you. The rest of us should be in the fucking streets, hunting down those who put their own dealings before the health of an entire nation, and world.

Do you post anything that isn't dripping with crazy?

it seems to be incapable.

Oh thank god, someone used their common sense. I just hope everyone opens on 9:00 AM Friday morning, not an hour before. Let the idiots freeze to death all night long

When I was in high school I did a Black Friday and all of the stores opened at 8/9am. Now it's a midnight thing? F-that.

My company is considering staying open for Thanksgiving day.

Normally i wouldn't care as I am not into family gatherings but when you have to work 16-17 hours the next day the idea is terrible.

It's a holiday. Why do you need to be productive?

I work in a 24/7 environment (NOC) so even Christmas there is someone working. So far I've been lucky enough to not have to work it though. On the other hand, it's pretty awesome money. I think it ends up being like triple time or something for both Christmas and Boxing Day, and depending how it falls you may get a Sunday in there too which also has premium. Then if you're working nights you get night shift premium on top of that.
