Holiday pay is enticing. I would happily work on major holidays. Living in a popular tourist destination, many businesses remain open for vacationers and travelers.

I will go to a store if I need / want to. I have many times worked holidays and weekends when I was younger, I was happy with the extra pay.

I’ll go to a gas station on holidays, but I tend to go to the ones that are owned:operated by foreign people who don’t necessarily celebrate that holiday.

Agree, Emerald 🎄

Why would I do that?

You are the reason these people won’t be making money. Grinch!

Why? They get time and a half. I always chose to work holidays because I am not religious and sometimes they even give you double pay. Visit the stores, you aren't hurting or helping anyone. Just act normal dude.

When I was in college I loved working holidays (especially Christmas) as a server at an upscale restaurant. Made tons of tips when I needed it most.

Some people need the job and some volunteer to work during the holidays.

Triple time and no tax on it. When I was an HR Director, we filled those spots with volunteers first. I stay home on holidays or I tip double…also no tax.

I thanked people for working after lunch today! (Christmas Eve)

I do the same every Sunday.

Having been a server, nothing is worse than having to work a holiday and no one shows up. You make zero tips, but still have to work. Since then, I will absolutely stop into anyplace open but empty.

Sometimes you should just talk to the staff and see what would help them the most rather than ride by on your white horse while looking down your nose.

Some people choose to work so others do not that have young families and also. eBay’s tips are usually very good on holidays…

My daughter just said this today, when I told her that her sister is going out to eat tomorrow.
