Not that I'm complaining, I still got my greasy goodness to coax out the demons from last night. But I passed 3-4 other joints and all were closed.

Mcdoubles, on nom nom nom.

I eat fast food about 6 times a year. I'm pretty hung over and I'd really prefer to take a crap BEFORE going to my mom's house for dinner.

I had to drive on business one Thanksgiving.
Drove all the way from Austin, Tx to Van Horn, Tx (about 550 miles) without finding a single place to eat.
Worst Thanksgiving ever. However the trip ended up allowing me to get a promotion to the position I am in now, so not all bad.

How's the head Bill?

I feel fine now after a crap + shower. I had a really good time last night with a woman that I really like. I'll pop caffeine + ginseng and head over to mom's in a few minutes where I'll have a strong drink to freshen up. Probably only a few drinks tonight though.

We didnt go out at all, and it was awesome.
Am not suprised most fast food joints were closed. Though its worth noting that many place like Denny's, Bob Evans, Shoney's, Cracker Barrel and other similar places were open. Some of them have awesome holiday meals.

I am still full from the prime rib, garlic potatoes, homemade buns, and a great pumpkin dessert with caramel and pecans on it from yesterday.

Those poor employees.

They're probably glad to be getting paid 2-3x their normal wage.

I remember talking to some Hollywood video employees about working holidays. They said they all worked short 3-4 shifts and got paid 2-3x the normal rate. They seemed happy about it.

I saw one McDonald's was opened from 10am-2pm, closed from 2pm to 7pm, then open 7pm to 10pm. A lot of other restaurants had "open Thanksgiving" signs on them too, like steak and shake, Max and Erma's, etc.

Thats true - for the ones there voluntarily, anyway. Do all states have it where you get extra pay for holiday work as part of their labor laws?

The labor laws are Federal. Employer is only obligated to pay time and half for hours over forty accumulated within the work week. Holiday pay is a benefit from the employer. Now if you’re working under a bargaining agreement then your pay would dictate to the agreement.
