Looks Like Walmart Will Be Hiring

I've read with a fair amount of amusement, the movement to have people who work for the largest retailer in the world, simply walk off their jobs on black Friday in protest of the policy that people have to work on Thanksgiving.  I worked for Walmart for ten years, let me tell you, I never had the Holiday off.
When I took the job there, I understood that I was working in a retail occupation.  I also understood that they day after Thanksgiving is the largest retail day for the store.  It's called "black Friday" because for many retailers, that is when they go into "black" that is-they actually make a profit for the year.
The things that all of the people buy don't magically appear by fairies and elves.  Real live associates are needed to put that stuff out there so that people can buy it.  When is it that they are supposed to do that?  If you know that you are going to really be busy on a certain day- wouldn't you plan on being ready for it?
Because Obama and his moronic policies have created 20% unemployment, any job is a good job right now.  While you may not like having to rearrange your Holiday, would you rather be living on the street because you cannot pay for your housing?  I am certain that all of these newly outraged people who plan to call in sick would rather have a roof over their heads and food in their refrigerator.  Sometimes there are hard choices that you have to make.  And if the worst thing that these employees have facing them is that they have to rearrange their Thanksgiving meal I have three words for them: suck it up.
If you have a job right now that is paying you full time wages, do you realize that you are better off than in three people?  If you have enough money to pay your way through life, thanks to B.O. you are better off than almost half of the people.  If you need something to be thankful for- I'd start right there.
There are service men and women who are being shot at on Thanksgiving.  They will hopefully eat a simple meal from a metal tray.  It may be turkey, maybe not.  There will be no family around them to laugh or enjoy the day with, and there will be no relaxing nap afterwards.  They aren't going to call in sick, they can't.  Nor will they stage a walk out-and Thank God- our freedom and safety depends on them.
If you are looking for something to be thankful for, I'd start right there.  The world doesn't owe you the hours that you want to work, and since B.O. was able to steal another one, just be thankful that you have a job.  You'll thank me later.
