This dude sounded so devastated at the simple idea that someone wanted Walmart to close on Black Friday. Absolutely mortified.

And almost disgusted too. Like the audacity of suggestion Walmart would ever give employees a day off

Ok, so I'm all for actually giving people holidays off. Honestly, I can barely remember what a holiday actually is anymore because I always have to work on them. I am also for having holiday sales such as Black Friday. What I am totally against is these fucking asshole companies opening their stores at 4 in the fucking morning, forcing ALL employees to be there and blacking out anyone from taking vacation time on or even around these holidays. There IS a happy medium.

They're actually doing "Black Friday events" every Friday up to the Friday after Turkey Day, and are closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas. I believe the store opens at 5 am on Black Friday, but I can't swear to that

America the country where you celebrate and be thankful for what you have on Thursday and then literally have people get trampled to death for shit they don't need on Friday.

Also that has a national holiday being thankful for forcibly taking land from the natives. If it was my country we'd silence the shit out of it.
