Nunyobidness 11/22/21 8:13:08 PM #5:	Never had to, but I often choose to because of the pay. I get paid for it regardless, but if I end up working it equates to double time and a half. Plus it's usually dead for volume and the brass doesn't really give a damn so it's a pretty chill day and they give us food. Further bonus is it gets me out of cooking. <cite>Nunyobidness posted [p:960255364] in Have you e... [t:79773605]...</cite> <quote>Never had to, but I often choose to because of the pay.

PesticideDream 11/22/21 9:16:33 PM #22:	I've had to work Thanksgiving at a movie theater just because it's open every day (even Christmas), so it wasn't because of just Black Friday.
