What do you think about Macy's Opening 12 Midnight Black Friday morning?

Asked by JLeslie (65415points) November 4th, 2011

I’m disgusted by it. I think it is inviting some sort of revolt by employees or the union to come in. As a side note Macy’s NYC is unionized, but the other stores aren’t. Other stores have been opening earlier and earlier also. I don’t see how you can ask employees who don’t typically work third shift hours to do just that. It’s unhealthy, unfair, and I think this has to stop.

I worked for Bloomingdale’s for many years in the 90’s, and I use to say the day they open at 8:00, and ask me to work the morning shift, I quit on the spot. Seems they have gotten to the point where they do indeed open at 8:00 on some holidays.

Here is one article.
