ATTN:Fuck You Macy's. Thanksgiving is NOT a 24 hour SHOP-A-THON!
What is Thanksgiving to true Americans?
Simply put: Remembering God,Family, and Country.

This year, Macy's will stay open 24 hours on Thankgiving for the first time in 155 years without regard for it's employees or their families, no overtime or holiday pay.

they will tempt the greedy masses to spend money they dont have, leave children and old people lonely on a family holiday while shoppers hunt for deals resulting in family conflict, and breaking families apart.

they are catering to "non/anti americans" who have no idea what our special holiday is about solely for profit(instead of teaching them what is special about AMERICA, what happened to "the melting pot"?)

THIS WILL DO NOTHING TO STIMULATE THE ECONOMY!

i have worked in retail for 20 years.
until you have been in my shoes, you dont understand the heartache it causes to have to miss a holiday meal with your family to sell some cheap shit from china at 3am on a holiday and being threatened with losing your job if you dont.

now that the giant MACY'S is starting this, every big box store in AMERICA will follow. AND CHRISTMAS WILL BE NEXT.

THIS IS HOW TPTB WILL FURTHER DESTROY OUR HOLIDAYS AND FAMILY VALUES.( and they will try to call it "economic recovery" and job creation")

I AM HEARTBROKEN.
I AM PISSED OFF.

BOYCOTT MACYS.
DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN.

GOD BLESS.

THEY DON'T OWN MACY'S.
IT'S NOT THEIR DECISION TO OPEN IT ON THANKSGIVING.

THIS IS A MUCH DEEPER ISSUSE THAN SIMPLY SHOPPERS.

Wait a minute... the economy is collapsing, the government is on the verge of default and they are going to encourage people to shop till they drop 24/7? Not only is that evil but it's also insane in the context of what is currently going on in the world.

Macy's put their Christmas decorations up the firs week of October. It was really creepy to see it up so early. Usually they put it up two weeks before Thanksgiving. But, I guess they put the Christmas stuff up for the Chanukah shoppers since Chanukah is on Thanksgiving?

Just realized, if you are Jewish you get cheated out of a Holiday.

Advertisers have told the Sheep that Thanksgiving and Christmas Day are for shopping. They make you think it's some type of sporting event that everyone is doing. And the sheep say "Oh look at the people on tv - they are shopping and jockeying for position at the check out line so I must model my behavior accordingly..."
and it works because sheep will sheep.

I'm only human, it's my biggest flaw.

We must all realize a sink a chair and a pillow are all luxuries of home and a soldiers helmet takes the place of all three.

if you work at macy's and you are jewish, you can easily get your hloidays off, or leave early for special dinners with no hassle at all. i was a manager. even if i was short staffed, or in the busiest times, they went home when they needed to.

Yeah I understand how some people view the day. My point was that Macy's is forcing some of its work force to slave away on the first day of a sacred holiday to some of us.

I agree with you...its just I saw Thanksgiving and thought its almost that time again for our once a year deep fried turkey

read my post above. jewish workers can celebrate their holidays with absolutely NO HASSLE. they go home whenever they want. however, if i wanted Easter off, i would have to trade Christams Eve for it. it's a little unfair. not many orthodox jews work at macys though.
