I received an add for a five day sale starting on the 22nd to Sunday, Open Thanksgiving Day 8am-6pm.
I will not patronize companies that are open on Holidays. It's against my principles. Another store off my OK to shop list.
Who agree's!!!!

Even gas stations where closed or at least most of them. Very few were open on Sundays. It was voodoo to be open on those days. I agree that Hospitals, medical, police and fire, but not many more. We have lost of morals!!! |

We have lost of morals!!! My point is you will only be able to buy handmade items that are made out of materials harvested not on holidays. Everything else... made or moved on a holiday period. I’m not going to tell one company I’m not going to support them and still support their competitors selling the same items that were manufactured or moved on holidays thus supporting companies open on holidays. It can’t be avoided. |

I remember back when even Wal-Mart closed on Thanksgiving. While I personally don't believe they should be open, If I boycotted every business that did something I disagreed with, I would starve.
I work Fire and EMS, I don't use the comparison because what I do is a necessity on those days. That said for the employees that work at these places, well they knew what they were getting in to.

And the gas stations that are open are ok? They have been open as long as I can remember. Blockbuster...when it was around was open on holidays. Movie theaters are open christmas day.
Even the movie A Christmas Story had christmas dinner at a resturaunt!
Just not sure why one employer is morally wrong but others are accepted.
I guess I have other things to worry about.

Also something I failed to mention earlier. I do all I can to shop at BPS and Cabelas, corporately they seem to be a couple of the only allies we have as sportsmen. From a large corporate standpoint.

I understand companies change over time and people have different opinions but if it wasn’t for Bass Pro I wouldn’t be into hunting and fishing like I am now. Growing up I couldn’t wait for that Bass Pro catalog to arrive in the mail so I could look at all the new items for sale. And when I finally had the chance to go to one of their stores I thought I was in heaven. Kids don’t have that anticipation anymore because of the internet but we all have to adjust I guess. Just my take for what it’s worth.

Guess I'm going to go against the grain and say that I don't support them being open on Thanksgiving. I will shop there later but I definitely do not support them being open tomorrow and may even send an email complaining.
