This is THE biggest family holiday in America. You think you're doing your workers a solid by closing early? YOU SHOULDN'T EVEN BE OPEN. Screw your greed and especially a big FU to companies that think paying time and a half is adequate compensation for it. If you're making people work Thanksgiving you should be paying triple time MINIMUM.
“But we're closing 5 hours early!” FU Thanksgiving is a whole day experience for most of us. We have family from out of town that we haven't seen ALL YEAR. You know who's not working? All you greedy insensitive rich executive bastards.
There's no reason for TRULY non-essential stores to be open without paying a fat bonus to the people they make work. 1.5x pay is a JOKE at these paltry wages.
