Black Friday, Thanksgiving and Apple
« on: November 22, 2013, 08:05:02 PM »
Opening retail stores on Thanksgiving is both insane, insulting, and an abomination to workers in those stores. Black Friday is bad enough (and I religiously stay away from malls that day). Apple, at least, has some respect for its employees in this regard. Hopefully, other retailers will realize that the almighty dollar should not take precedence over quality of life (but I'm not optimistic).

Most do. Local Apple Store opens at Noon till 5:30, but I think those are regular times, not just the Season. They are open other days from 10am till 8pm.
