Annoyances

Annoyance: my family doesn't watch football on Thanksgiving.

 blasphemy

Isn't that the truth. People have been trampled in the name of Black Friday, never will I be a party to that nonsense.

Apparently, it's common practice for companies to say you can not use personal time during the holidays. I know of several people where that's the case. The only thing is they're not required to work the actual holiday itself, so I guess that's ok. That said, there are no vacations at this time of the year and such.

Some guy who worked in Walmart got trampled to death because....wait for it....the savages busted the doors and the plexiglass out onto the guy and charged in the store at the Green Acres Mall in Valley Stream. And, this was like 4 or 5 years ago. Nothing was done, nothing has changed. It's only worse.
I cringe when I hear or see the word, door buster.

It would be funny if Walmart had a realistic screen image of a fully stocked store on their front window.  When the animals bust down the doors, they immediately find that it isn't a fully stocked store, but a giant, deep pit that they immediately fall into.  At the bottom of the pit a giant screen is setup up that plays constant video of people eating a plentiful Thanksgiving dinner with their families as they starve to death in the pit.

I'm not too broken up about missing 20 years of Lions games but football is football. I'd just leave it on with no sound.

They'd eventually eat each other until one is left. What do we do with the last one?

Stop ruining my dream, poopchute.

Maybe the pit begins as a giant slide that sorts them into individual pits of dispair with individual tv feeds.  Like a big coin sorter for fat assholes.

It should also have a single exit that they can walk out of to leave any time they like, except that the exit has massive spinning blades on either side and only someone who is a normal size can fit between the blades on each side with getting sliced up. There will be buffet tables and fridges filled with lots of food, healthy and really unhealthy, as well as treadmills, exercise bikes and weights. If they adopt a healthy lifestyle they'll eventually get small enough to leave, but while they continue to be fat cunts they're stuck there.

I like where you are going with this.

I despise that stores are opening on Thanksgiving and while I certainly blame the executives who are deep into their post-turkey coma when their employees are reporting for work, I blame one entity more than all others: Amazon.

Amazon's ability to serve people deals with their dessert on Thanksgiving have forced brick-and-mortar stores to retaliate to capture the ever-decreasing overall holiday expenditure. It'll get worse too. Has anyone noticed how many online vendors have been running "Early Black Friday" deals all month? It's a bitter competition for every single dollar. Don't be surprised when in a year or two stores are open "Until 6AM on Thanksgiving so you can get a head start on your shopping!"

I'm kind of pissed off that my wife has to work Thanksgiving, but fortunately: 1) she now works from home and 2) in trade, her boss is giving her the first Christmas Eve off she's had in 7 years, so it's a lot more bearable.

Still, any non-essential personnel working on major holidays is bullshit.

B&M stores don't have the ability to sell online as well?  The ones who open on Thanksgiving sure do.  Hell, you can run your doorbusters online and no one has to work or camp out.  Let people pick them up in store the next day.

That's certainly a reasonable compromise.

BTW: Amazon is putting robots into use to handle their expected increased workload next week. Less jobs!
