Reply to comment by Tiny_Fly_7397 in Want to dine out or order in on Thanksgiving? Here's what Springfield restaurants are open by [deleted]

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.
