Thanksgiving shopping

If you read my posts, you KNOW I'm not a big fan of corporations, but I've got to say this about stores opening on Thanksgiving - if you don't want them open, then stop shopping there on Thanksgiving. They only open because they are filling with customers. I promise you - I won't be out there.

Walmart has announced it will open its stores at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving, joining retailers like Target, Best Buy, Kmart, Macy’s, Kohl’s, J.C. Penney, and Toys R Us that are cutting their workforce’s holiday short to pursue holiday season profits. Kmart will open its doors the earliest of all the stores, opening at 6 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day.

“Almost everybody to date has moved up, at least one hour, if not more,” Walmart Chief Marketing Officer Duncan Mac Naughton said Monday. “We thought 6 o’clock was the exact right time to win the weekend.” He explained that the 1 million workers needed to staff stores are “really excited to work that day."
