The Evil of Thanksgiving Creep, Black Friday and Why Consumers Are Painfully Falling for Both

"Working in Retail Management for years there was an enjoyment previously in, the "Black Friday" rush, the excitement on shoppers faces after offering a awesome deal, having major fun with my staff and more.

Traditionally -- before Thanksgiving Creep-- Retail Employees normally received THREE (yes just three) Almost Guaranteed Holidays Off: Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas.

That's it, that all.

Because the retail workers of the World had the Thursday before Black Friday off to spend without interruption with our families, we did not mind getting up REALLY EARLY to serve your shopping needs on "Black Friday". However, the last three years have been interesting to watch. The way "Black Friday" as been "presented" to consumers definitely has changed -- for the worse."

Thanksgiving is gone due to greed. Christmas will soon be gone because it has Christ in the name and we cant have that. Soon it will be 365 24 hours. I blame everyone. We should have fought for Easter. Today we are trying for saving Tanksgiving and tomorrow we hopefully we will save Christmas. But sadly we will all lose these battles.
