Maybe not as much as Thanksgiving (being that is a more secular and national holiday), but I'm sure there would still be some out there.
One of the many criticisms I've made of my former retail employers is that basically in nearly all cases upper management didn't give a damn whether their decisions would upset anybody. It was all about the Benjamins. The tight labor market seems to have forced a revision in their thinking. A welcome development in my view.
And possibly also those upset customers who then opt not to shop that store on other days as well.
