16 Retailers That Are Telling Employees to Stay Home This Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is a time for most Americans to eat, drink, and spend time with family. Many also prepare for the onslaught of holiday shopping that traditionally begins the following day, dubbed Black Friday, when retailers offer their most deeply discounted sales of the season.
That dynamic began to change several years ago, when several major retailers broke with tradition and opened their doors on Thanksgiving Day. Some argue that stores should be open for the holiday, and the controversial practice has become more widespread. Pushback from employees and the public has convinced some chains to remain closed, even though they will likely lose sales by doing so.
