Working on labor day...

Wow if no one is in the store go buy some mcdonalds

Well first off, I'm a vegetarian, and secondly, I don't get paid enough for fast food (and even if I did, my wallet is at home)

See now, if your store carried peanut butter...you coulda ate some of that.

Not for retail and restaurant workers xD!

Only the people who get paid so much for so little that they don't NEED a day off get a day off, duh. It's the only way that makes sense.

My little sister and our friend told me this yesterday, they both work retail.

I said, "Hmm... I guess they don't think none of you work hard enough for it to be considered hard labor."

Yeah, yeah, but honestly, I think that working retail / restaurant jobs are a lot harder than most, if not all, white collar business jobs - just with less qualifications, 1/4 the pay, and no benefits. Or holidays.

I agree seriously you guys have to take a bunch of crap from people who are just stupid.I would hate to have your job and McDonalds has salads and coke coke is good.

I read that it started when trade unionists banded together; in a sense they are making a day for those people, since they did have to fight for better conditions. Nowadays, retail workers dont have to do that, with all the rules in place. i dont work yet, since i dont have my workers permit

Yeah, but neither do accountants or bankers - no one in the USA needs to fight for better conditions anymore because of all of the rules in place. Everyone else gets a day off, though.

You get paid double also though right? I did any ways... or are you commission?
