Are you working on Thanksgiving?

[Uabassoon]

I was just curious to see if anyone else will be working this Thanksgiving.

I requested to work because I enjoy the extra holiday pay However I'm only working 5 hours from 4:45 a.m. until 9:45 a.m. so I will still have plenty of time to enjoy the day with Alexa's family.

At our store we had people that were actually sad that they weren't schedualed to work the holiday!

So, if you are working did you choose to work the holdiay?

I don't think I have ever worked on Thanksgiving. I used to work retail, so I worked the day after, but since I graduated college, the companies I have worked for have always been closed for Thanksgiving and the Friday after. The past few years I have started taken vacation that week..use three days, and get a week off (or this year, use 9 days, and get 17 off!) Works great for me!!

Well I don't have a job now but if I were still with my old job (PetCo) they give Thanksgiving off

Which I WILL be back there working next month for Christmas. So I'm very excited about that!

I am off this year for Thanksgiving but will work Christmas and New Years.... Double pay both days... I can handle that!! $$$$$$

We do close early for Thanksgiving, but I think people would be very angry if they couldn't get their Starbucks in the morning. My customers are a bunch of addicts!

We actually have a lottery for people wanting to work on Christmas! Only one store in the district is open and everyone who wants to work gets their name put in a drawing. The main reason why people want to work that day is because aside from the holiday pay tips are always amazing on Christmas. I however will be in Texas celebrating with my family

I had no choice. Hopefully, people will be too full to argue. However, they'll also probably be too drunk. We're having finger foods at work since we don't have to come in until the evening.

I never work on Thanksgiving and I also have the next day off too. I'm looking forward to having a nice relaxing 4 day weekend.

I'm only working Monday and Tuesday of this week. In a hotel, I've had to put in holidays for years. Now at 25 years, I'm off. !! But to get the holidays off I take vacation days. Tom has it off every year and all the holidays !!

the hospital is 24/7/365, and while i have the day off, i'm working wednesday and friday, both traditionally busy for us. the cooks at the hospital do a great setup and the patients and staff are well fed. no-one wants to be with us, but someones' gotta be there.... . i feel for the cops, firefighters and ems, they got it a lot harder

[Cookiebaker]

I have the day off!!! And the best part is that it is a paid day off

[catnapper]

No, I never worked Thanksgiving. My MIL used to waitress and she'd purposefully work Thanksgiving and all other holidays. Man, the tips she got on just one holiday shift was like all the tips in one WEEK of regular days. She used to work all day then come to our house and we'd have a big thanksgiving meal together. I miss her, she passed away 4 years ago.

I'm laid off and collecting unemployment so I definitely have thanksgiving off!

all retail is closed for Canadian Thanksgiving (back in Oct). Unless there are animals or people to care for, no one works on Holidays here.
