Black Friday on Thanksgiving Night? Ridiculous

Can corporate America care even less about their employees? Clearly that answer is yes. After years and years of Americans shopping early on black Friday giant reatailers like Walmart and Target want to open their doors on Thursday night to the shoppers eager to save a few bucks. Why has it come to this? What was so wrong with early morning deals for Friday. The last few years some stores have opened at midnight and I thought that was excessive. Thanksgiving is a day for giving thanks and spending time with loved ones. Why would you cut into one of the only holidays these people get to spend freely with their families? Is Christmas next? Where do we draw the line? 

Clearly the answer is money. Why else would they close their doors for less time. They are like wolves eager to take your money at the expense of in their eyes "the sheep". Do you think any of the CEO's of Target or Walmart will be working on Thursday night? I'm willing to bet they will be all cozied up in their awesome houses with their families and friends amongst other things one would be grateful for on Thanksgiving.

Let's all be honest here cooking on Thanksgiving is exhausting. Lot's of work and cleaning to do. If you're a family with kids running around to other family members houses etc just to spend some time it will tire you out by the end of the day. People deserve some time for their selves. People can wait to shop and employees can wait to work. Period. Corporate greed is getting out of control. 

I fully support all retail employees who refuse to work on this night! To all the shoppers ask yourself this, will the crowds and hassle just to save a few bucks be worth the strife? How would you feel if you had to work on a holiday you usually have off? Support  your fellow Americans and help protect them from future corporate greed. Do not shop Thanksgiving night. I refuse to buy anything on Black Friday. I'm so disgusted with some of these retailers whose ideas are simply that people are cogs and not real people. They are NOT just a number. These are peoples with families and real feelings and emotions. Let's not desensitize ourselves so much where this stuff becomes unimportant!
