Every company I’ve worked at up until now (Even the one I’m currently at) has had the day after thanksgiving off. I work in the service industry. Not at a restaurant or big box store, I’m a technician for an alarm company. Today I was told by my boss that this year we wouldn’t have Black Friday off for various reasons that boil down to just general money hungry reasons. even though we had it off the year before and the year before that one.
Now that I’m in this predicament, it’s got me thinking about all the workers that have to work on Black Friday night. I’ve never participated in the whole black Friday thing because It’s never seemed worth it to me to fight through crowds of morons to get items at discounted rates. Nonetheless, I feel for the Black Friday workers. I’m sorry y’all have to work that night and herd the crowd of idiots fighting each other over deals on stuff they don’t actually need.
Hopefully, an interview I set up in a couple days goes well and I won’t have to work that day.
