23 stores that won’t ruin Thanksgiving for their employees
While thrifty shoppers are counting down to Black Friday to score some deals, people who work in retail are counting down to a particular kind of hell: Not only do they have to deal with belligerent crowds and dangerous stampedes, they’re also being forced to work ridiculous shifts that increasingly cut into Thanksgiving and even earlier.
For instance, Kmart is asking people to come to work by dawn on Thanksgiving, and allegedly denying requests from employees to take the day off. As for Walmart, nearly 1 million workers across the country will have to spend the holiday away from their families and fight off the bargain-hungry hordes instead.
But these stores are keeping their doors closed Thanksgiving day.
