« 10 Toy Store Shopping Tips From a Brutally Honest Retail Slave | Main | Glam Tampons: Hot Seller or Markdown? »
Kudos to adult store Adam and Eve for posting this holiday hours notice in their stores. If only other companies saw it this way. If they weren't open, people would show up in mass on Friday. But stores staying open on Thanksgiving is nothing more than another example of competitive insanity caused by greedy machine-like corporations....and unfortunately, entitled discount rat custys with no life are buying into it.

Greetings Curious Scroller,
If you've never landed in this part of cyber space before, you have taken a hard, fast plunge into the fiery depths of work hell. RHU is dedicated to giving the service worker a voice. If you are an angry customer, a corporate suite, a homophobic race-hater, and you don't like skull masks or swear words, this blog isn't for you. Click away now, before your ears bleed and your eyes explode.
I'm Freddy, Crypt Keeper of Retail Hell Underground RHU -- a place for service slaves to have a voice, tell their story, support each other, or just have a chuckle about the insanity of working in the 10th Circle of Hell! I'm also the author of "Retail Hell," the funny memoir about life as a handbag sales associate at an upscale department store! The sequel, "Return To The Big Fancy," has just been released in hardcover and e-reader and is available wherever books are sold!
Of course it has nothing to do with the fact that the adult novelty sales are practically non-existant on those days, and they would have to pay employees extra to work, for very few sales.

even thought it's an adult novelty store I'm glad to see a store take a stand about being open on turkey day

Lols. I think it is great that all the stores that are supposed to be about "family values" and "putting the employee first" are opening at the most ridiculous hours ever. This is full of win.

I like this!
A music store in my town also does this, and people love it! I rarely shop there (mainly because one does not buy a guitar every day and stuff), but when I did, I heard two different groups of people comment on that in a positive way.

I think if regular big box retailers (Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy) actually did this, we would all pass out from the shock.

They missed out on the chance to have a Black Friday bedroom fun day. Maybe they'll go for some sort of Boxing Day innuendo instead.

It sure says something when a store that sells adult toys has more compassion for their employees than those stores that tout "family values".
