Hmm from what I can find, most of the protests had no employees in them at all.
Ours had no protesters.
I read yesterday of a protest in Florida that cost the company 1 worker.

Plus Walmart is reporting crowds larger than last year, and their shares went up.

Sounds to me like a whole bunch of nothing for "workers".

Can't give you a status report from around here because like a good old fashioned American I stayed home . . . . .and watched the snow fall . . . . . . .


The lowest point of the day(s) was when I turned the tv on to watch the **news** . .
I gaged when they showed video of all those sheeple idiots molesting each other while going for the china trinkets.........

a little more turkey and pumpkin pie helped settle me down..................

I would have stayed home too but had meds that had to be picked up.

Don't think the government should dictate being closed on holidays. I think people's respect for each other should make it unprofitable to be open on major holidays.

Oh I don't know most people like Blue Laws that regulate when retailers can be open. Most of them will never shop on Saturday night or Sunday or any holiday. It will be unwise to think that you need to do that when in most of Europe they don't. If you need some medicines during that person you should have stoked up on it before or wait until they are open. How many of the holidays should you close? How about Valentines day? Or St Patties day? How about Boxing day? How about Christmas for Muslims? Where do you draw the line?
