    Stores Are Opening Too Early On Thanksgiving Weekends

    WalMart just had an ad that they are opening 10 PM on Thanksgiving. Target is opening a couple of hours later. How much is enough guys? Let the workers enjoy time with their families for heavens sake. You aren't going to go out of business if you open at 4-5 am on Black Friday. Chick Fil-A is a perfect example of doing it this way. They are closed every Sunday, and major holiday. They're still around with full parking lots 6 days a week. Stop the greed guys!

    Agreed, it's rediculous what's going on here. Don't make these people who work at retail have to come into work on thanksgiving.. Thanksgiving is thanksgiving.. Talk about corporate greed at it's finest..

    Costa Rican stores are now advertising Black Friday sales. For what?? Thanksgiving is a U.S. holiday.

    10PM is really that much different than having to get up at 1-2am and head in to get Black Friday ready for the stampeding morons?

    Remember, 10PM is when they open. They have to be there several hours before that to make sure everything is ready to go.

    It's gotten way out of hand. Might as well call it Black November now.
