You'd actually think Target, and all the rest of them, could incentivize their employees with double or triple time...or offer the ones who work a bonus of X% of total sales for the store during their "strange hours." I'd think employees would be standing in line.
Do firemen, police officers, doctors, airport workers and anyone else whose job does not stop just because its the holidays get double or triple time or a an extra bonus?

Others don't mind and that's fine - but people shouldn't have to ruin one of their few real holidays just because they have to earn a paycheck. businesses should respect that and not stomp on everyone's toes.
I heard of time and half but I never heard of double or triple pay for working holidays.Yes.
........
Yeah all those poor doctors, policemen,firefighters, Airport workers and anyone else whose job doesn't stop because its the holidays shouldn't have one of their few real holidays ruined just because they want to earn a paycheck. The nerve of us tax payers, airport owners and businesses not respecting that and stomping on their toes.

10 Holidays per year including double time and a half on Thanksgiving and Christmas

I'm not any of those. I'm a forklift operator, who works in a factory.
On those occasions when they make me work on holidays, I get 2½ times my normal rate of pay.
They are all well aware of what is required in their profession before they begin . . . my mother's office gives a cyclical 'off time' to employees which still permits everyone to have time off - just not all at the same time within the same year.
My mother right now is in the Carolina's - it's her cycle year.
And Working at a large chain store that is competing with other large chain stores on Black Friday and early Black Friday is some how not expected?

Sure they do and it's poor managerial ethic . . . one should actually care about their employees but once you're a corporate retail giant you can afford to be an ass I guess. Which is part of the reason I refused to work for one.
well, i won't work for one either... but that's because they don't pay anywhere near enough for me to commit my time to them.... not because of their business operations or any perceived ethics violations ( I don't believe its bad managerial ethics to have employees work holidays, unless you specifically tell them they don't have to beforehand and make them work anyways).
For me it was only about my ability to climb the ranks and make a difference or be depended on - I didn't want to be so expendable that my needs would be looked over quickly and I'd be easily replaced.
It's not expected that suddenly a number of stores will decide to open on Midnight, Thanksgiving Day, for heaven's sake...working their employees all through the night. Have a little compassion, for God's sake. I owned my own business. It didn't take too long for me to figure out that when my employees were happy (and that might include their feeling they were just a bit overpaid), my profits went up.
Cheapskate.
I wonder if these whiners realize that millions of people all across the country work on Thanksgiving.
Target employees upset about working on Thanksgiving… | O Hell Nawl - We should have been whooped more as kids
Some Target employees are hoping the giant retailer will rethink its plan to open stores at midnight on Black Friday. They claim the early opening will take many workers away from their families for a big part of Thanksgiving.
