I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. Working on Thanksgiving sucks. Especially when I'm on call for both of my non-House of Rants jobs. But, while it sucks more for people with families and a life. Thanksgiving is a day to share with family... before the woke folk remind us of the slaughter of Native Americans that followed afterwards by the English Colonists. Yes, we're aware of the historical evils behind it. The part most people celebrate is the whole "thanks for making it for another year" part. Unless you have enough prep time and pre-cook everything, Thanksgiving WILL suck for you. Especially in night shifts, because NOTHING WILL BE OPEN. (Curfews due to COVID-19 don't help either)
But duty is duty and sometimes it can screw your plans... The one thing that makes it worse for the retail employees who have work on Thanksgiving is customers acting like dicks. Also, commenting on how Corporate sucks for making employees on Thanksgiving to the cashier as they scan your purchase is a dick move. Last but not least: Why the Hell are you showing up on Thanksgiving when Black Friday is the day after!?
To my fellow essential employees and retail folk... Happy Thanksgiving deapite having to work from all of me at the House of Rants...
