I prefer not to give my money to employers that make their staff work on holidays

When I was in college, i was a server and absolutely LOVED working thanksgiving...., people were more friendly than normal (gracious for you being open), the restaurant catered a really nice meal for employees, our base wage was increased, and most importantly, the tips were CRAZY good.

Same. I always volunteered for holidays. Double time and a half ftw!

Yes! My family is estranged from one another and does nothing for the holidays. I was always the first to volunteer, because otherwise I'd be sitting at home on the couch lusting over the Thanksgiving meals everyone else posts on social media. Usually work would cater in Thanksgiving food, and time-and-a-half never hurts. Now I have a significant other and his family has multiple Thanksgiving meals, so I'm at the other side of the spectrum trying to get multiple days off haha.

I grew up with friends that didn't celebrate holidays, or didn't celebrate the same holidays. They were happy to get paid double time. Even now I have a coworker who chooses to work Thanksgiving week while we're off, she collects overtime, then takes NEXT Thursday off instead.
