Corporate Disrepesct for American Tradition & Holidays
  • MiddleGround November 2011 +1 -1
    So I hope you heard about Target making their employees come in for work on Thanksiving night at 11 PM? Corporate competition is only getting more disgusting and disrespectful of American cultural holidays and Federal+State recognized holidays. It is like an ARMS RACE! rediculous!

    I plan on BOYCOTTING any stores that are open on Thanksgiving Day, which is the time supposed to be spent with family.

    FYI.... Part time employee at Target started a petition on Change.org and has about 30,000+ signatures to far, as well as an employee of Toys R Us. Here's the link. Check it out please.

    The cat is out of the bag. If a business is to be open on Sundays, how is any day or occasion ruled out?

    No day of business for the Corporate Multinationals, or any blood-sucking Corporation is ruled out...We shall not spend our Dollars on ANY product or service originating with these World Paracites...and We shall proceed to identify them by name, by practice, by their historical footprint upon the Globe, in our Congress, in our Cities/States...and having done so, We will make no Demands or extort no compensations or policy changes...no, not Us...but We Shall Not spend one single dollar for their products and services either...not Sunday, not any Day...down with Mammon...down with Moloch.

    Sadly the boycotts didn't work. I was hoping they would. People care more about getting a cheaper price on their underwear I guess than on saving their traditions.
