had an interesting conversation with neighbor teen.

spent the day picking up supplies for the week. the neighbors daughter asked me
why when most of the places are open on monday. I told her .. you know how people will tisk tisk and say what a shame people have to work on a holiday. well if fewer people shopped on the holiday, shops might not open on that day and people will have that day off. she nodded I hope I helped her see.

1. I have no problem with any store being open on any holiday

But for any Federal holidays, employees should get extra pay for working ANY hours during that day.

Businesses have the right to be open "extra" days.. but they need to pay their employees "extra" for coming in on those days.

2. It's only a matter of time until we have 9/11 sales. Some car dealer offering

To let you drive away in a new car for $911 down and zero interest for 911 days.

Quite sad.
