In the past few years, retail stores have begun opening on Thanksgiving day instead of just for "Black Friday" sales. A recent study by www.bestblackfriday.com revealed that 57% of people don't support stores opening on Thanksgiving Day. In addition, store sales have begun to lag as online sales were up 11.5% during the 2016 holiday shopping season.
BOYCOTT OR BUY EARLY?
While many applaud this the no-shopping on Thanksgiving trend, others love the thrill and excitement of snatching up items on their holiday list for a bargain prices, a day before the black Friday sales. Stores generally are not without workers as the rate of pay on a federal holiday is generally two times the regular hourly wage ($7.25 in Texas). An hourly holiday rate of $14.50 is very appealing for the minimum wage worker.
