Working for the Holidays!!!

I just recently found out that my part time job is going to be open on Thanksgiving day, which this will be the first time that the store will be open during this holiday (the only two days that it is closed is for Thanksgiving and Christmas day). I realize some stores need to be open like grocery stores and gas stations, but even then I always feel bad for those people who have to be there working and away from their family. I know there are people who do not celebrate holidays, so it doesn’t really matter to them it’s just another day to them and they probably get upset when things close down for a holiday that they don’t participate in. I personal think that the stores need to be closed so people can spend this time with their family, and did you ever notice that the movie theater is usually always open, I feel sorry for those people; can’t people just stay home for one day so everyone can be with their family and not have to work. It’s unfair for the gas stations and grocery stores that they have to be open, I think most of them are only open for a couple of hours and then close early, but still they should only at the most have to go in at the morning for 2 or 3 hours for those people who forgot items, or need to fill up their tanks to make that special trip (but honestly isn’t this stuff that you could have done the night before or days before?) . I am not happy with this new change at my company, and with being in the retail business I think other people would have to agree that working holidays already (labor day, 4th of July, New years day) it’s not fair to take yet another holiday away. Some Holidays should be mandatory off days!
