This limitation would require the frustrated and often near-homicidal retail employees (yes, near-homicidal... and you thought Postal employees were bad...) to work overnight Thanksgiving Eve, Thanksgiving night, and likely Thanksgiving Day to completely reset sales floors. Perhaps you would consider amending you proposal to allow Christmas/holiday decorations to be displayed 1-2 weeks earlier.<br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br />~a retail employee and future medical professional...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-22136196907356686972009-09-27T00:02:13.977-04:002009-09-27T00:02:13.977-04:00I just heard a commercial on the radio today with ...I just heard a commercial on the radio today with the jingling sleigh bells advertising some Christmas concert.
