I liked it when they opened at 5am, my Dad & I would get up in the pitch black, dress super warm and go out, get coffee and breakfast and then go shopping for the day, we'd have so much fun. But this 'getting earlier & earlier' trend is crazy.
Christmas commercials on tv, today Rite Aid was taking down and discounting their Halloween stuff and putting up Christmas stuff. The guys doing it said it all had to be done by tomorrow! Nov 1?? WHAT?? That' so crazy to me! BUTTTTT... if people stopped buying now, stopped shopping at 5pm on thanksgiving, etc.. then the industry would HAVE to change. It's consumer driven also, remember! |
Yes this is true . . But Thanksgiving should be about Family !!!
Thanksgiving use to be one of the Holidays where companies were all about the family and not about the money. How daring would it be for someone, anyone to have the balls to say NOPE not going to follow the Hype not anymore and to announce that they are putting their employees and their families ahead of all else. How nice would that be. FB has a pledge going around asking people to stay home and be with their families and NOT go shopping on Thanksgiving !
