During the holidays, especially the time around Thanksgiving and Black Friday, chaos ensues as people frantically try to buy last minute gifts for their loved ones and employees are forced to deal with the
mayhem, instead of spending the holidays with their families.

Because of this trend of stores opening on Thanksgiving rather than on Black Friday, workers are asked to come in and work the overwhelming shifts.
Instead of spending time with the ones they love on Thanksgiving, their attention is directed to the continuous flow of customers coming through the door.

Thanksgiving is a day meant for giving thanks, but most people are unable to do that when they’re standing behind a cash register, scanning bargained items to shoppers.

Cheap items are a thrill for the American middle class shopper who waits
every year to buy items on sale, but holidays like Thanksgiving should be spent with families and loved ones, not in a store running around, trying to grab the last iPhone off the shelf.

Numerous families are in the situation where they are not able to see their parents or other family members because they are being called to work. They create a profit for companies that only care about their own wealth and growth of their own products.

Stores should allow people to take the time off of work during the holidays to spend it with the ones they love.
