We are all human. Every person, regardless of job choice, deserves a day with their family. I have worked in retail for 6 years. In those 6 years, I have witnessed mall opening hours become earlier and earlier for Black Friday. This year, in many locations, they are forcing retailers to open their doors at 6pm ON Thanksgiving. Many retail establishments employ college students, and this opening time frame makes it impossible for students to travel to homes further away than an hour to spend the holiday with their family. We are begging our customers to support us in this petition. Please sign this petition and pass it on. It may result in nothing, but for our families, it's worth a try!
