ThanksGreedy Day
Today is the day before Thanksgiving and for the past week there has been some controversy about the times that some retail stores plan to open for what is now referred to as Black Friday. A few years ago stores began to open at 7am. Then it was pushed back to 4am. Some stores plan to open at 12 midnight this year. Others are choosing to open Thanksgiving evening at 8pm. A large retailer said that their "guests" want to begin shopping this early. They used the word guests for a reason. The word shoppers would sound too commercial and greedy. What about their employees? Don't they deserve a day off with their families. If it was not for them, your business would not be running. Personally, I will boycott any store that opens before 7am on Friday. I know it will not make one bit of difference, but in my own mind, it will. So to all of the stores that value money more than family, Happy ThanksGreedy Day.
