I... I'm thinking about this and while, textually, that's the outcome of the kind of practice I'm advocating for, I also would _utterly love_ for the holidays to be dead forever because I'm not at all convinced they don't bring out the absolute most wretched behavior in peoplehttps://twitter.com/AlexandraErin/status/1330599217790939141 …

Except those working certain stores of course. The store I worked at, one year they thought it was a brilliant idea to open on THANKSGIVING NIGHT, and remain open overnight for black Friday the next morning. As in they were literally open at 3am, 4am, etc.

And of course anyone who has worked retail knows the absolute misery of holiday hours... open earlier, close later, customers lingering in the store longer, the store is usually an even biggest disaster to clean up at the end of the night than usual...

And that we think this makes you a BETTER PERSON than someone "lazy" who just doesn't ever have a big Christmas morning because they never worked that hard in the first place, who traded consumption for leisure The whole machine keeps humming because everyone thinks like this
-
The other meaning of "Black Friday", that a lot of companies stay in the red all year until holiday shopping starts, there's no "normal" market for the shit they make, people ONLY buy it as part of an orgy of release after a year of thankless toil
