Question of the Week | Tuesday we asked: It was announced recently that Framingham's Staples will not open its stores on Thanksgiving, instead promoting its online sales that day and its 6 a.m. Black Friday opening. This marks diverging trends of retailers either opening for extended hours on Thanksgiving or not at all. | Do you think retailers should be closed on Thanksgiving? | | This is not an issue in Massachusetts, stores are not allowed to open on Thanksgiving in Mass. Black Friday deals can begin at midnight and some do; Wrentham Village and other retailers make do with those option. Turkey Day Sales are not needed. For me it isn't a matter of ethics but of pragmatism. Most workers I have spoken to LOVE the overtime. But if the store isn't making enough to cover its costs, why open? Me, I hate shopping so I don't care if the stores are open or not. For me it isn't a matter of ethics but of pragmatism. Most workers I have spoken to LOVE the overtime.
