    Default If you go shopping on Thanksgiving, you are a ****ing *******

    Do not pass go, do not collect $200. Just look in the mirror and realize that you are a terrible person, responsible for thousands upon thousands of people missing out on the Thanksgiving Holiday to be with their family.

    Instead, they get to go to work so you can get in line before anyone else to buy your cheap crap made in China to give to the few people you know who actually can stand being around you.

    I don't even blame Wal mart or Target for opening on Thanksiving. Just you.

    Agreed. Let Consumerism Ring!

    I will not be out Thursday, and probably wont do any shopping till Sunday. I hate how commercial the Holidays have become.

    What's needed are some disincentives. Some enormous, powerful, horrible-smelling disincentives.

    Yeah, I used to have to work on Thanksgiving at my old job, did it for 11 years. It sucked, but hey that was the job. Most people that have to work Thanksgiving will probably tell you the same, it's not that bad and I'd rather have to work that day instead of Christmas Eve or Christmas day. Typically, I have in my life tried to avoid going anywhere on Thanksgiving day to purchase anything except beer at a gas station, but again, people know the deal when they accept employment.

    I used to work in the grocery business, so people would be coming in hardcore from 7am til about 11am to pick up last minute stuff for their family dinners. Most of the time, I was off by noon/1pm and able to go home to eat and watch football with my family. So its all good.

    Agree as well. I'll even go one further and say football on Thursday sucks.

    I didn't even know stores were open on Thanksgiving Day...

    Agreed on your overall point though. I don't understand people who would rather save a few bucks than spend time with their family. Family time is so infrequent, it's definitely the most cherished time in my life...

    This will be my first Thanksgiving off in about 3 years. I worked at the Rec center during that time and we opened the place,(Usually 8am-2pm),so the members and visitors could use the track and weigh troom. I'd call them my "manic obsessives."

    Turkey day is spent in bed, in front of the TV, or in front of a table.

    There is no shopping that I know of. Now I do know people will be headed out that night to shop...Who cares ?
    I won't but if that's what they want to do so be it.
    I know my lady and her family will go out shopping at some point in the wee hours of the morning...on Friday. That's their thing, they have been doing it forever.
    You sign up for a job in entertainment, restaurants, or retail...there is a chance you will be working.

    That said, it's not one of my favorite holidays anyway. The premise of it is skewed.

    Thanks for the sig LCSF
