I was lately in my neighborhood Safeway store and say a sign posted on the counter at the service desk, giving the hours the store would be open on Wednesday November 23, 2011; Thursday (Thanksgiving) November 24; and Friday 25.
This store would be open regular hours all three days, 5 AM to 1 AM.
I asked the clerk about this and he said this was the message from the corporate office.
Somehow I doubt that anyone on the corporate level will be at work especially on Thursday, and likely not Friday as well.
It would serve the greedy sons of an unsanctified union right if no one shopped there at all on Thursday, so their action cost them money. But likely they would make it up by laying off workers.
Up against the wall!
