    Other way around. Places default to open, then if people don’t come, they stay closed next year as acost saving measure.

        When I was working for a video rental place on Thanksgiving, people would always say “I can’t believe you have to work today!” While renting movies. I wanted to yell at them “if you didn’t come in, I wouldn’t have to!”

      That’s how it works already, Chinese culture doesn’t care about Christmas, they make great money being open for their culture and others that don’t celebrate Christmas and want a normal day.

        I love having Chinese coworkers because they will work extra shifts during Thanksgiving and Christmas. But it’s my responsibility to work extra shifts for Chinese new year.

      Hypothetical loser: “Oh look Dollar General is open! Hurr-durr I’m bored, let’s go in there and throw off their statistics to make every future Christmas employee miserable because they have to be there because of losers like me.”
