...it starts on Thursday.

Seriously, what the motherfuk is wrong with these stores? The corporate bozos get a nice long weekend with their families, payed for by the sweat of the worker and the dollar of the idiot-consumer. But that's not enough, they needed to make a few more dollars before the other guy by taking people away from their families on Thanxgiving.

These corporate bozos got to spend payed time off at home or wherever, while "the worker" went out and made them more money.

Fuk you Bozo, fuk you in your stupid little ass.

If you're really struggling, the opportunity to get an extra day of time and a half might be just what some people need to make Christmas happen for their kids.

There are winners and losers in this debate but for some employees this is definitely a God send. Depends on how hurting you really are.

^I'm pretty sure you're as obtuse as he is.

That being said, yes, I am personally dissatisfied and in no way qualified for a proper editorial. But feel free to draw upon my insight if you like.

N'ope.

Its not black Friday until......Retail stores go over the thin red line to finally show profit and put them in the black?

Agree 100% bro, let us give thanks for what we got then go buy a bunch a stuff we don't need on credit cards, kinda stinky but to each their own ya know? Hell if it makes folks happy and doesn't hurt anyone except chines slave laborers, seriously who cares?

I just can't understand how people are willing to give up valued time with their families to go sit on a line for 6 hours and give more to the filthy rich corps.

Probably because one full day with family is more than enough for most people

Totally agree!
With @joonze also!

These retail workers in some cases are able to get paid time and a half for working "off" and "holiday" hours. And ya in this time of mass unemployment what wrong with Consumer spending adn employees working? isnt that what the answer to all this mess is supposed to be?

^No, you narrow-minded little twirp, I do not work retail, though I did for several years.

It's asshats like you that perpetuate this system of unaccountability. And I say, cheers to you for a job well done.

I know we have different view on this and several other things, and that cool...
but i think im not the narrow minded one on this topic.

Everyone is complaining about no jobs and a poor economy in this country. But when there is work, regardless if it's your holiday or their holiday....they are gaining wages to pay for things they may need.

Not everyone wants to sit at home after a day of eating and sitting around the house....not everyone has a family and would like to get out. I personally dont do the black friday shopping gig just because i think its insane, but my personal thought on it doesnt make it wrong....

There was a time in my life when all store were closed on Sundays...there are some states that still dont sell alcohol on Sundays....Me personally, I think thats crazy....We are a country of many cultures and religions and dont follow the same holidays thanks to the freedom of religion within the constitution...

Get over it...if you dont like it, dont go shopping....

The workers at stores like Walmart, Target, Sears, that just got done working overnight on Thanxgiving are for the most part seasonal help with temporary or part-time status who get forced to work these long shifts with no extra pay or incentive. Do most or all of them need every extra dollar they can honestly make? Yes. Would it be a better investment in humanity, for the people who decide to open these stores in the middle of the night on a holiday, to change their greedy tactic? Yes. Would it be wiser if consumers stopped being led by the carrot long enough to look behind them and see where the stick actually leads? Also, yes.

::sickened by all the followers and neophytes who can't think for themselves::

1. They are not "corporate bozos." They are richer an exponentially more successful than you are, and have developed a system that puts them at the top. Sounds smart to me.

2. Why don't you just step back for a moment and take a holistic view of our economic situation, and then tell me why you should be exempt from working on a holiday.

3. I am sick of this country's latest turn towards entitlement. Nothing makes you better than anybody else. Stop bitching and get over it.

Everyone feel better?

Don't get me wrong, I love @Joonze and I love his posts. I think he is an all around great guy, but man, if someone disagrees with him they get chastised like they disagreed with trey. Working on thanksgiving sucks and anybody in there right mind would rather hang with there loved ones and friends on thanksgiving. It's called black "Friday" for a reason and the corporate assholes could have some campasion.

P.s.
I don't condone the narrow minded twirp comment.

Asshats chill.
