Nothing shows that St Nick is winning the War on Christmas more than a free for all in the video game aisle.
It'll be the best Christmas ever!!!

I figured that they get paid 1.5 or 2 times normal wage, but after stopping for a few minutes in a store last night, I don't know if it is worth it.
Kids probably in high school or early college. Probably not worth your time beating him up or a dumb comment.

I'm sure I will someday, but no one should have to work on thanksgiving or christmas eve/ christmas.
I agree, but, if you are working a minimum wage job, odds are you are going to have to work holidays.
You are right. We should shut down everything on those days. Police, power, hospitals should all be shut down so people don't have to work on a holiday.

The retail place I worked didn't, but attendance was mandatory.
UPS did for the drivers. If you volunteered, you got time and a half. If they volunteered you, you got 2.5 times regular pay for that day.
You will notice I didn't say all. At least now we know you're in high school.
Data processing never stops. All those credit card transactions have to be processed. Years ago when I was supervisor in a data center I would give people the option that I would work if they wantted to stay home. Hardly ever happened. 2.5 pay goes a long way
When I worked for Hy-Vee in high school, I believe it was time and a half they paid. Always volunteered to work Thanksgiving day. It was always dead (I worked for Drugtown, which is owned by Hy-Vee) and we closed at 3, so I still could hit some Thanksgiving meals. Also paid a Sunday premium of 50 cents more an hour, so you know I was working those 9 hour shifts every Sunday too.
So? Never said there weren't minimum wage job fields that stop. That does bring up a good point though. Most minimum wage people need holiday or overtime pay.
