@bq, neither does Von Maur!
@aw I’m just wondering when they will go back to opening Thanksgiving night. God please I hope not. Closing Thanksgiving day is one great thing to come from Covid. I remember when we were open all night the week before Christmas because that’s what Kohls was doing. Then we went to being open til midnight the week before. Now even open til 10:00 we are dead after 8:00.
Dillards doesn’t do the crazy extended hours and they are thriving I think.
@b6 everyone should know if your going to work retail you have to work holidays!
Every single employee should call in sick for both Thanksgiving and the day after.
Show them who's really boss.
They couldn't make their millions without you, and it's disgusting that they won't even give you a federal holiday off, which is designed to be reserved as a day AWAY from co-workers, bosses, and waiting on strangers; to celebrating and gathering with friends and family at HOME!
@OP, LET’S CALL IT WHAT IT IS — CORPORATE GREED!! These retailers are constantly competing with Kohl’s, Walmart, and online shopping for every dollar. But somewhere along the way, it became all about PROFITS, PROFITS, AND MORE PROFITS!
Just be thankful they aren’t opening to the public at 6 PM on Thanksgiving and staying open for 18 hours like they did back in the day! Some associates, including management, had to be at the store by 4 PM just to get the lines organized because people were already lining up around the building for those $19.99 cheap boots! 😂
Some of us remember those days firsthand! Retail employees have sacrificed plenty over the years, all in the name of making that extra dollar.
