Commercialism rocks!

I just learned that one of our local shopping malls is planning on opening its doors at 1 a.m. the morning after Thanksgiving Day. It’s crazy enough that it’s only August and they are already announcing this to the stores they lease space to. But the worst part about it is that this means that the stores will have to be open at that hour or else be penalized. And so they are in essence forcing the stores to require employees to come in to work that early.

Welcome to the triumph of materialism.
