Black Friday

Currently I'm wondering how many people are aware that in order to facilitate the hoarding instincts and commercialism of the people, Wal-Mart is forcing it's over night employees to work 7pm-9am thursday night, and again 8pm-8am friday night, less than twelve hours between shifts, all because of a need to make a profit from the people who think that Black Friday will save them.

Not only do I see this as a completely disgusting act of betrayal on the parts of the average American, since of course countless others will be able to go to their families dinners enjoy themselves and the wake up at 5 a.m. to rush the stores, but also as total proof that the bottom line of a business is more important than the faux ideals of it's founder Sam Walton. I hope others will join me in finding this disgusting and calling in to Wal-Mart to tell them that this is nothing short of a criminal act against it's employees and the consumer.
