Not everyone celebrates Thanksgiving and Christmas a-hole.

Growing up in a smaller metro area, there was little open. Maybe chinese places. Now living in a big metro, there are so many various ethnic places that stay open.

I have properties in two resort towns. Thousands of people would have no where to eat if the restaurants in those buildings weren’t open. It’s the biggest travel week of the year regardless if it’s beaches or mountains. In both places it’s the biggest day of the year.
I’m guessing the OP has never went on vacation that week. With 4-5 paid holiday days off from work it’s the biggest vacation week of the year for many families.

I used to travel a lot for work and was away for many holidays. Was happy that some places were open so I could get a decent meal. Had a Thanksgiving dinner at a Shoney's one year. Was pretty good.

Look up hotels in resort places for Christmas week. It’s called hell week because of the capacity. It’s the biggest vacation travel week of the entire year. Weekly rentals in South Florida are 3x the price of any other time of year. Same with ski resorts.
Hasn’t anyone ever seen Home Alone?

30-40 years ago it was the northeast Jewish families who came to South Florida for Christmas. Now it’s not nearly exclusively Jewish. It’s insanely packed that 10-14 day window.

Maybe they want to work and some people go to the Golden Corral so they don’t have to cook.
That is the way I look at it. I hate cooking at times and over pay buying all kinds of food only to let it go to waste, or I can take my fat arse to a buffet and eat everything I want at one price.

A lot of places used to pay time and a half or double time on holidays. Tips are way better as well.
I worked in a grocery store as a kid and they paid time and a half on Sundays.

Not everyone has family to hang with.

When I worked in the restaurant and bar business I usually had to work either Thanksgiving or Christmas night, all were usually closed during the daylight hours. Tipping was usually pretty good.

When I worked in the restaurant business the only two days we closed were Christmas and Thanksgiving.
A bigger question for me is, why TF don't young kids go out on Thanksgiving Eve like we used to?
It was bigger than NYE when I was in my late 20s and early 30's.
Seriously, it was the Super Bowl of going out.
Everyone was back in town, you'd hit the same ole watering holes and it was a perfect mesh of the new breed and the OGs coming back to mark their territory.
Aunt Pams deviled eggs at 9am on about 4 hours sleep, raw dogging Kings Hawaiian rolls straight our of the package by 9:30, skipping breakfast cause no way you're going to ruin your appetite, popping the Caymus by 10:15am because Uncle Don doesn't want to drink the shitty Sutter Home he brought, gumbo and NFL pregame shows at 11am while drinking one of Uncle Stu's Bud Heavy's and you're just as drunk as you were when you were hitting on the 6/10 by the pool table at 3am, barely keeping your eyes open through lunch then escape to go lay down for a minute where you cash it in until about 8pm, wake up, slam some leftovers after not helping clean up a damn thing and go do it all over again.

That’s disappointing to hear, I don’t think I ate a thanksgiving meal from 18-28 with having to struggle to keep it down

Let your workers spend the day with their families. Really shitty of them.
The Fairgrounds for Thanksgiving is a fun time.
As for Christmas not everyone is Christian and Christmas is not even the most important Christian holiday, seems you should be advocating for places to be closed on Easter.

What about hotels?
Bus and train service?
Airlines?
Military?
