If I told you your office (unless you're like a doctor or something) has to be open on Thanksgiving Day and you have to work so you don't get to enjoy this holiday with your family, you would have the same attitude. I work part time at Best Buy, and one of the biggest annoyances to me is the fact that they call us in as early as like 1 PM to come to work for some idiots who decided they need to wait for a cheap and crappy TV. Granted, I can work from home so it's not the same, but the "oh yeah feel free to turn on [moronic news network], I need to go check e-mail" is a gift from god. It's like the sick baby excuse except it gives you money every few weeks instead of taking it all away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that places are opening at 5 PM, peak dinner time, to me is ridiculous and honestly every shopper should be ashamed of themselves. People talk about getting into the holiday spirit, but then they go around and treat their local retail worker like crap because they were not early enough to get a ticket for the doorbusters.

Yeah there's a huge difference having to physically leave at peak dinner time between being able to just leave my family when they get annoying.

Either way i'm kinda confused if people are coming in at 1PM, that's like a full day early but AM is like the middle of the night too. Is that a thing?

Like now i feel bad, because i often partake in boxing day festivities. Not like door-crasher crazy, but just like wander around with family in the afternoon and get a few percent off stuff usually sort of thing. But i've also worked temp boxing day before way back in the day, and didn't have to roll in until like 7am. Different holiday though. Black Friday has always made no sense to me in general. Other than maybe nabbing Christmas gifts for cheaper i guess. Boxing Day is the superior holiday, where everyone just has a big *** sale the day after Christmas on all the stuff that didn't sell...and you can rush in and get whatever you didn't get as a present yesterday, that you wanted.

It's Best Buy, it won't happen. They'd cut that right away. I do get a little hope every year. Thankfully I'm only there this year for some extra cash but it was the worst when it was my full time job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanedorf Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 Another beauty part of Thanksgiving is that people are already dialing back on the work levels and planning their escape - and its only Monday It's really and truly a week-long Holiday if you are doing it right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the pain stops and/or you wake up, it's probably time for first dinner, and you'll enjoy it more now that you gave your stomach the proper amount of foreplay. What if it never stops? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
