It's crazy!!!! I would be an very un-happy camper if I was required to work on Thanksgiving day. If nothing else any employee that does work should make double pay!!!!
The only store I may visit on Thanksgiving day is the grocery store but will try my hardest not to.
I do appreciate it when there are at least a couple restaurants open on Thanksgiving so those who are traveling can get a snack or at least use the facilities!!!!
