As I do every year as Black Friday approaches, I will make my plea on behalf of all retail employees. First, stay home on Thanksgiving. Spend time with family and friends. Secondly, when you go out on Black Friday, be nice and be patient. Those workers are putting in long hours and some of them haven’t been working there long and can get very overwhelmed. Thank you in advance for your kindness.
