Hey kids, Johnny just got hold of some HEINOUS information...

Toys R Us that usually gave their employees Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter off is now going to be OPEN for business on Thanksgiving to give them a competitive advantage over their rivals who wait for the day after Thanksgiving for those Black Friday sales. According to the Consumerist website, the higher ups at Toys R Us are ready to sacrifice their employees day off (you didn't actually think the people who made this decision were going to work on Thanksgiving did you?).

HEINOUS, shame on you Toys R Us.

Everyone, this is just GREED. Too much greed. How much money is ever enough? Now you're going to f*** over your employees who were going to face down mobs the next day with another day of fighting the mob.

Johnny is asking everyone nicely, DO NOT shop at Toys R Us this year for the holidays. Sooner or later somebody has to stand up to this abuse of the American worker. Shouldn't THEY get to spend the holiday with their families and friends like the rest of us? The answer is yes, they should. Toys R Us pulls this crap then next year it's Best Buy, Macy's, Sears, and every other company.

Johnny will bludgeon the first person in comments who tries to play devil's advocate by saying 'yeah but if you boycott them they will lose money and those people won't have jobs.' Money is not everything. If the President of Toys R Us and the VP's and Regional Managers and District Managers want people to work that day I suggest they start with themselves. If you draw a SALARY at Toys R Us, volunteer to work or everyone should stop shopping at Toys R Us until the end of 2009.
