That time of the year is right around the corner, when people rush into stores in the early hours of the day just to get their hands on the best deals. This year, stores like Walmart, are deciding to begin their Black Friday sale at 10 p.m., on the day of Thanksgiving. People are angered by the fact that they'll have to get up in the middle of Thanksgiving dinner in order to get in line for the store opening. Last year, Toys"R"Us did just this and decided to open its store on Thanksgiving night. People are frustrated by this move because they don't think it's fair to require employees to leave their families and come in to work on one of the most important holidays of the year. Some retailers claim that they've received positive response about this move and people have liked this change. Still people think it's unfair to tempt people to turn their backs on the holidays just to get the best of great deals.
My View:
Everyone knows the holidays are tough to handle, and this news is definitely going to discourage a lot of shoppers. People already get up really early to go to retailers and buy as much as they can for extremely low prices and to make them leave their families behind to start shopping is unfair. It is also unfair to make employees leave their dinner tables to go into work on a holiday. I don't see retailers prospering if they decide to open early Thanksgiving. People look foward to the holidays all year and I really doubt they will leave their families to go shopping. Retailers are better off sticking to the Black Friday tradition.
