Thankfully, when I worked retail years ago, businesses still had some decency about them and didn't schedule employees to work these crazy hours.
If the buying public stayed home and shopped during normal hours, maybe they would reconsider their strategy.
I refuse to shop during these times. No one "needs" to shop at midnight, or at 4 am. Just my opinion.

Yes, the man was arrested. But I am much more thoughtful of store employees who work through the holiday season. It is not fun, folks. And yes, I realize work isn't always fun, and many would love to have one of those jobs, but you don't know the full story of working retail during Christmas shopping season. My son had a total of four hours to spend with family on Christmas Eve, and that included driving for three of the four hours.
