Target stores are open until 10 pm on Christmas Eve?

35. If you work retail, are a nurse or other hospital based health worker,

if you work for an airline, if you're a cop or a fire fighter, if you work in a factory that runs three shifts, if you're a restaurant worker, you don't get to go home at 5pm every day and you certainly work holidays and weekends.

I almost always did shift work, and I almost never had a holiday off. Kind of sucked, but it went with the job. I eventually discovered I really wasn't suited to a supposedly regular office job.

So, if you ever want to run out and pick up a gallon of milk late at night, or want to go to a late showing of a movie (which reminds me, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day are generally busy for movie theaters), or eat at a restaurant after you get off work, or hope the fire department will show up in the middle of the night, be appreciative of the people who work those jobs.

Probably the worst thing about Target being opened that late is that people will walk in the door at five minutes to 10 and then be outraged that they can't spend two hours browsing.
