Shouldn't that say, "Boycott stores OPEN on Thanksgiving?"
I remember setting up a breakfast table in the breakroom when it was Black FRIDAY.
You better tell spot about that fact. My store has all hands on deck whole weekend.Same here. I no longer worked for Target when they started pushing into Thanksgiving Day. The earliest I remember going into work was probably 2 or 3 in the morning on Black Friday.
"Black Friday" is probably the one thing I'm not looking forward to this season, especially considering I'll have to be at my day job on Friday for normal hours.
Follow up with them.@Hardlinesmaster They know my availability... what I'm worried about though is working really late on Thanksgiving and then having to get up and go to work on Friday and most likely back to Target Friday night. 😱
It might be at your store. Ask questions, now.@Hardlinesmaster It's no big deal, I'm not being literal at all.
It will probably be a long weekend but that's why I took a second job, to make some more money.
Exactly. And this is why several major malls and mall operators across the country have said this is crazy.Opening up earlier only equates to spreading out sales-whether on Thursday or Friday.
If I remember correctly, stores with 750 peak order max and being told to schedule Thanksgiving based on 67 hours of picking and 10 hours of packing BEFORE the store opens. Plus more hours after the store opens for packing. I'm willing to bet a lot of us will be at the store a full 8 hours before opening to get it done.I was in at 3pm last thanksgiving to pick the SFS orders. I'll probably volunteer to come in extra early again
QFT!I mean it is what it is. Plus that time and a half. Sign me up 😛
The problem with that prediction is that all it takes is one company to start the reaction of early opening. Most retailers realize they are spreading out the revenue, but at the same time they know that it pays to be the first store people shop at.My local newspaper interviewed a retail analyst who youth that next year, he majority of retailers will not open on Thanksgiving due to lack of demand. He felt that most people go out for the doorbuster at one particular store and then go home. I highly doubt it will be early than 6, as the backlash on social media would be horrendous and spot I see already facing backlash from his year.

Wait I haven't heard this. Idk what my store's peak orders are this 4Q. I mean I'll probably still do it, because Thanksgiving doesn't really mean much to me holiday wise anyways... But that makes sense. Because last year didn't quite go as it should have lolIf I remember correctly, stores with 750 peak order max and being told to schedule Thanksgiving based on 67 hours of picking and 10 hours of packing BEFORE the store opens.

It seems like basically every store that is at 150 cap right now will be going up to 750 at peak.Wait I haven't heard this. Idk what my store's peak orders are this 4Q.
