poll: Is Thanksgiving Night Black Friday Wrong?
Saturday, November 26, 2011
At 1:00 am on Thanksgiving night Target opened their doors to kick-off Black Friday retail sales. For the Target retail workers this required them to dramatically change their Thanksgiving holiday. In the case of the Target at The Crossing near Route 44 in Smithfield, the Dunkin' Donut workers got called into work to meet the demand of the middle-of-the-night retail promotion.

Now your turn - should we allow this type of Thanksgiving night retail?
