Starbucks will be open.
I'm gonna be frank and say, if you have any heart at all, please don't come bother us with your Triple Venti 150 degree extra caramel no foam caramel macchiatos. We are humans too...

Who else is just as bitter as I am?

Well, Matt Lauer has to work, but he's never bitter.


I promise not to go to Buckys. I don't like coffee, so don't worry.

Mr. Lauer also gets paid much more than I do, and doesn't have to work 8-hour shifts.

But he has to be outside for 3-4 hours talking about balloons making banal convo with less than famous celebs. You get to be inside a warm store talking what Dunkin Donuts calls "Fritalian."

willact-I work at Starucks too but by some miracle our DM decided to have us close thanksgiving day. And then I was supposed to cover a shift from 5am to 1:30pm on Friday at a another store but the person called me today and said I didn't have to cover it anymore so I now have three full frappaccino-free days in a row! :)

willact4food, when I was a barista in a chain store I always jumped at the opportunity to work Thanksgiving. The customers I did have were either military away from home or refugees from their own families. Either way, it was uplifting talking and spending time with them. And the tips were, like, TRIPLE what I'd get on any other day. It was a fun time and the money was good.

It may sound insane, but if I had my pick of places to spend tomorrow I'd be back behind the counter at that Books-A-Million. Those two years were the most rewarding Thanksgivings I can remember.

One of the few perks of working retail is the malls are closed tomorrow. Of course, Black Friday will more than make up for my day off...

the holiday season officially starts for me tomorrow, when after the flight and drive to my parents island, we stop at Haagen's (a grocery chain), and I buy my first Peppermint Mocha of the season at Starbuck's.....so Thank God they're open!

No work tomorrow, but Black Friday is going to be a hellhole at poor old Hollister. All 100 employees are workinggggg. Oy.

I don't have to work tomorrow. Although I do have to work on Friday from 5 til close and that means it's going to be total chaos (I work in a shoe store, so you can well imagine the insanity).

I am working 8 AM to noon, as a trade-off for getting Friday off.

You young folks with your young jobs.


Someday you'll be older, with big, fat jobs, and big fat paychecks... and big, fat stomachs... and big, fat responsibilities...

...and then you'll know! You'll be thankful you were young once, and a job at Starbucks was all it took to make ends meet.

So, enjoy the day! And enjoy this time in your life. It goes by very quickly.

Well, it doesn't help that my family has refused to wait for me to get home before eating dinner. What a nice family, huh?

Hey, it's a trade-off. I have many things in my life that I didn't have as a teenager.

willact---Why would you even consider asking your entire family to wait for you?

Willact - try as I might to just read your little whine as a kid being pouty, it really strikes me the wrong way - especially on this day set aside for thanks.

Many people on this planet don't have jobs - in fact, they don't know if they'll have enough food to survive the day. Many people also don't have homes, much less family to go home to.

I can assure you that you are not the only person working today. In fact, while you're standing behind your counter being bored and moaning and whining about the pitiful plight of your existence, there will be many who are simply trying to stay alive, with virtually no hope of a better or different existence tomorrow.

Again, I get that you're young, and that you only have your own experience to deal with - and that it's not as perfect as you would like right now - but PLEASE, show a little restraint, and understand that you really don't have it THAT bad.

My boss wants to be a d*** which he is all the time anyway

We come in so he can let us off at noon. This way he can screw up our 4 day weekend. I have a long memory & do absolutely nothing extra for him from this point forward
