This is demanded by the Walmart head honchos in Bentonville, Arkansas. Please let THEM (not the local workers) know what you you think of this.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

If you don’t like it, find another job. Stop crying, it makes you sound like a liberal.

I think it is a job and extra pay in a bad economy.

I think any of the workers that dont want to show up for work should be fired.

Be thankful you have a job. Get off your ass and get to work.

Your reward will come in God’s time, not yours.

Some people don’t mind working for the extra money. I am sure some of them will actually get overtime or differential pay.

what I think of it is that”s life” The number of holidays I’ve had to work while raising my family are countless. If it’s part of the job stop the damn complaining an do it. Otherwise, the unions move in. Really, it’s a dumb post

I think it is great. I will let them know that I am all for this. Thanks for the suggestion. I like this better than having to get up early in the morning on Friday. I think it is a brilliant capitalistic move. My family will head over after dinner and the game.

Wow, busiest shopping day of the year and WalMart calls "all hands on deck." How very boorish of them.

On Thanksgiving, be damned thankful you have a job and do your turkey a day early or on Sunday after you get some sleep.

I doubt you'll find much sympathy here.

I will. On a related note, Walgreens is open Thanksgiving and Christmas, when everything else is closed. Also, just recently the head honchos decided after many years of providing shirts to employees, to require the employees to buy their own. They have to be navy blue in color, which is impossible to find. Add the fact that most store employees are living paycheck to paycheck in this economy. Please tell them what you think.

Walmart is retail. Anyone working retail should know perfectly well that they’ll have to work a lot around the holidays. What’s the problem? If people don’t like the job they can quit.

Your post sounds like the typical anti-corporate, liberal gibberish one would expect to find at an occupypublicparks rally.

A lot of the people at Walmart are either grateful to have a job at all, or should be. If you don’t like working conditions, quit.

I don’t ever remember having a Thanksgiving where I was off in the Marines. I served under Carter, Reagan, and H.W. Bush.

My sympathy meter is busted.

For every Wal-Mart employee complaining about this perceived outrage, there are ten people who would love to have their job and do the overtime with a smile on their face.

It’s time to quit your Walmart job and go work for someone else.

Don’t work in retail if you don’t like the hours.

It is perfectly understandable that Walmart wants to make sure the shelving is full stocked and ready for Black Friday, the single most profitable day in the retail year.

Profitability = job security.
