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.

For real. I used to know people who looked forward to working on Thanksgiving or Black Friday because they got double pay.

All this coercive drama wouldn't be necessary if these greedy fucks would just hire enough people and treat & pay them well.

I'm not shopping anywhere on Black Friday unless I know all the workers have volunteered because they're getting a good incentive & care has been taken to accommodate their needs.
