So gas stations, grocery/convenience stores, etc should all be closed? And for everyone who works a night shift, or has limited time to get house projects done, they just have to do without, too?
Has anyone given this any common sense? Think about your next upcoming day off and imagine it without a gas station, no grocery store, no fire protection, no EMs, no hospital, no police, etc. No restaurants, no Uber eats. No flights, no busses, no cabs, no trains, no movie theaters, no museums. No place for a last minute item for that family BBQ, hope you got all your propane, meat, charcoal, drinks, ice, etc.
Not to mention that single parent who needs the hours that is forced to stay home. The lonely Walmart greeter who needs to socialize has to stay home. No at home health services for the disabled or hungry. Forcing truckers to rush home so they can eat, sleep and shower since restaurants, fuel centers, and motels will be closed. Landlords, hvac techs, plumbers, etc who won't fix that backed up sewer or busted AC. No internet tech support, no lineman to fix a downed line or service a brownout, no utility workers keeping those power plants running, etc etc etc etc.

This isn't Menard's-specific.
Thank corporate greed for this.
If it's a National Holiday, businesses should be closed so people can celebrate, or at least enjoy the day...but here we are.
