I used to go eat Chinese on Christmas since they are buddhists and the only thing open

Maybe they want to work and some people go to the Golden Corral so they don’t have to cook.

Restaurants being open on Thanksgiving and Christmas piss me off
I've worked a restaurant on Thanksgiving and Christmas. I was happy to do it and people tip well.
I also worked retail one season and quit the week before black friday when they wouldn't take me off the schedule. I didn't mind slinging hashbrowns but I drew the line at crazy shoppers.

WTF OP, what about us that go enjoy a meal instead of working our arse off at home?

Wife and I and our 1 year old were on the road a couple years back on thanksgiving and were very thankful to stop at Waffle House for thanksgiving supper. Tipped our waitress $50 and I was very surprised how many people were there

Waffle House Xmas is special. Sorry.

What about Chinese Restaurants? The Chinese don't know anything about Christmas, because they are from a Pagan country and worship snakes and lizards.

I remember in the mid 70s working late Christmas eve at a gas station on Airline Hwy. Boss told me I could close up when I wanted to. I kept getting people pulling in saying I was the only gas station open for miles, we were right off 112. I felt sorry for travelers so I stayed open till 2am that morning.

Generally agree. But some may choose to work if they don’t have family or anyone to celebrate with. I’d hope restaurants would offer up the shifts first vs a requirement.

Yeah, but I bet your absolutely fine with hospitals, emergency rooms, and maternity wards being open on Thanksgiving and Christmas!!
As long as it's not your ox being gored.
Really shitty of you.

We did Sullivan’s one year with my dad and his wife. No body want to cook , it was a weird year because my grandmother had just passed and we just felt like a change of pace. Plus there was 9 of us and that waiter got a monster tip because we spent a bunch of money.
