Annoyances

[Miamipuck]

As you guys were leaving he game I actually caught Scots trying to free himself from the passenger compartment and secure himself to the roof rack.

Betweeen the Tongue and Drunk Guinness, I saw Scots take a sharp pencil and jab his ear drums in a sharp stabbing motion, muttering something about "losing all fooking earthly desire to hear any fooking thing ever again."



or words to that effect because that rat bastard is so difficult to understand.

We should change his name to Eyedeazik.

1) Stores telling employees they'll be fired if they don't work on Thanksgiving.

2) People who actually shop on Thanksgiving, especially those who are assholes to the employees.

3) Stupid petitions asking me to boycott stores that are going to be open on Thanksgiving.

Bitch I feel sorry for you, but I'll sure as freak be in Target the next day.

When did this become such a big deal anyway? Should cops also get the day off? How about security guards? Doormen? The gas and electric companies?

Sometimes you have to work on thanksgiving. It sucks, but why is it such a big deal?

Some people like being home with their families.

I guess all the big retailers should have "Winter Holiday" fire sales on December 24 and 25 too. Sometimes you just have to work.

But seriously, all of the jobs you mentioned go with skeleton crews, they don't up demand for that day and force everyone to come in.

I speak the Queens language and the pronunciation is "Eyedzik".
I thought I explained all this to you Yanks:

you say either and i say either
you say neither and i say neither
either, either, neither, neither
let's call the whole thing off

you say tomato, i say tomato
you eat potato and i eat potato
tomato, tomato, potato, potato
let's call the whole thing off

Force to come in? I'm pretty sure they know going into the job that they might be asked to work on thanksgiving. Never mind that the average age of retail employees is well under 30, so it's not like there are a lot of parents who can't be home with their children.

It's not like this was a time-honored staple of the job. It's bullshit that they've whipped up over the last decade.

When did it become a big deal?  When stores started opening on Thanksgiving just one or two years ago.  It was a closed day nationwide up until that point.  There is no reason to be open that day.

I think emergency services and utility companies are slightly more necessary than an extra day of shopping.  A sale which takes place on Thursday could just as easily take place (and used to) the day before.  As for doormen, while I have always found it hilarious that people can't open their own doors for one day, they and residential security guards generally get gifts and tips when working on the holidays.  The same isn't true for retail employees.

It's a big deal because it is killing family traditions without any option to refuse.  You might be surprised since you've said in the past you and your family can't stand more than a day or two together, but a lot of people value holidays.
