To anyone that thinks “I don’t want to give money to employers forcing their employees to work”
I represent Thai Express. We don’t force our employees to work. We give them the option to work and make more money. We provide bonuses and we all know very well that tips are much higher on holidays. If we have enough interest, we open. If not, we close.
Please don’t assume all businesses force their employees to do anything. That mentality hurts businesses that aren’t doing anything like that at all.

I worked in an industry that didn’t stop regardless of the holiday….reduced staffing generally. Most opted out, some chose to work for reasons…some worked for holiday pay…Honestly some people would rather work for better than average pay than feel alone on a holiday.
Most any job or career you have to work on a holiday is pretty obvious from the start. I was there for two decades. So was most of my immediate family. We’ve moved days a few time…it’s not always the day but the event…and a day or two before after is not the worst thing.
Sadly there is a generation who views holidays as forced labor suddenly being forced upon them. Totally not the case. I was already in a career before most of these folks were even in Kindergarten. I chose to work holidays for quick money while most of these posters will not have to work a holiday.
