Being open on Thanksgiving is not a crime against Labor

[TBF]

15. I actually agree -

and it's not just because I hate this holiday (celebrating killing off our indigenous population with a big feast - way to go) ...

I worked solid through the 1990s as a paralegal. Large firm, decent salary, great benefits. The firms I worked at either paid your wages based on 35-40 hours/week. The one that considered 35 full time would pay you straight time until 40 and then time and a half after that.

One firm in particular I stayed at longer because it was time and a half for O/T, double time on weekends, triple time on holidays. And this would be on salaries anywhere from $20K-$60K at that time.

That can make it worth your while.

Just a tip for any retailer - pay your employees decently and you might see more willingness. At least some of the folks will want extra double or triple time even if others would far prefer the time off with their families. However, if you're paying them $8/hr don't be surprised if they don't show up.
