Thanksgiving Shopping
There is something that I would really like to know, when did holidays in this country become shopping days? I remember not too long ago, I am talking less than three years ago, when everything was closed on Thanksgiving Day. I am hearing from the shoppers in my family that many chain stores such as K-Mart and chain restaurants like Ruby Tuesday are open. This complete disrespect for the American people and American labor needs to cease. This country really needs to re-evaluate itself and the way it views the world, and, somehow, in these economic times, it still appears that consumerism is of vast importance. This consumer-based economy cannot and will not last much longer. It is a notion of the 20th century, and like many things from the 20th century, it should be left there.

My mom works for Kmart, and every employee has to work 4 hours. No matter what. No one gets Thanksgiving off. In order to thank them, the company supplies food, but it is Thanksgiving. Most people are leaving to go make a meal, or coming in after having eaten. It is really just a slap in the face. However, it is one of their biggest grossing days of the year. It is really sad; people should be home with there families not getting the jump on holiday sales.
