i always give suitable notice for leave and have never been denied once. Do Americans get leave by law? If you work retail in America are you entitled to 4 weeks holiday a year not including sick leave and emergencies?
Not everywhere no. I live in California and, if I recall correctly, it wasn't until 2018 that a law passed, requiring companies with more than 25 employees, to give paid time off and health benefits to full time employees. Before that, both vacation time and benefits were optional.

So some companies do give plenty of paid time off, while others barely give any. Thankfully I'm in the former.

I think this is the attitude I don't understand though

I think this is just a deeply ingrained capitalist thing where money is more valuable than people. "But you'll slow down production!"
It absolutely is. Several people on this site in fact, act like it's a sin to take off from work. There was a topic on the PS4 board where a guy said he was going to take 1 day off to play a new game. Several people came in boasting about how they never take off work and that it was foolish to do so.

I say, take your vacation and enjoy yourself.
