I shop at Michaels hobby store quite often and I'm on their mailing list. I was horrified to receive their latest bulletin proudly announcing they were open from 3pm-2am Thanksgiving Day. As a farther inducement they included a 30% off entire purchase coupon. I sent them an email protesting their opening at all. The reply came back to the effect "their customers demanded it." <br /><br />Rubbish! <br /><br />I can imagine a small, indeed tiny minority might want to go spend time in a hobby store at 2am in the morning. I certainly wasn't going to shop AT ALL that day - nor Black Friday. I'm seriously considering cutting up my Michaels rewards card and sending it to their head office with a letter registering my protest and disgust. The only way to stop this madness is for people to stay away from the stores altogether.A Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834159033854153921noreply@blogger.com
