Why are big retailers trying to kill Thanksgiving?

27 Nov 2013 • motherjones.com

At least one mega-retailer has resisted the Black Hole: Costco. The unionized big box chain will remain closed on Thanksgiving and open on Friday at its regular hour of 10:00 a.m. The company wants it workers to be able to spend time with their families, Costco CFO Richard Galanti told me. "It's pretty straightforward: It's a major holiday with family and friends, our employees work hard, and it's the right thing to do," he said. 

I should probably really consider a Costco membership.  Sounds like good people.
