Has anyone seen the article from today that Mall of America will not be open on Thanksgiving day this year until 5:00 am on Black Friday? I wonder what ridulous plan Sears will have this season for store hours.

Bwaahahaha! Are you kidding? WOW them? With what? Lack of merchandise. prices that aren't competitive, dirty stores, registers that don't work, stores that are freezing cold because the heat doesn't work and the company won't fix. People have plenty of time to get their Black Friday shopping done on, gee, I don't now, BLACK FRIDAY? At stores that actually have merchandise they want to buy at great prices?
Same open schedule as year. 9055 - you are a joke. Being open Thanksgiving will do nothing to help keep the company afloat. There is no way it is mathematically possible to keep Sears and Kmart alive now. If you knew anything at all about company, aside from the bs Eddie feeds you - you would know this. The debts to lenders and the pension are all public record. Do your research and stop posting garbage.It's all a waiting game while Eddie shifts around money and properties to Seritage and figures out how he will flee the USA on his 240 foot yacht to a country that doesn't have an extradition treaty with the USA if he is forced to open the "real" books in Federal bankruptcy court.
I think all associates should call in that day. Why should we give up our holiday to help Eddie when he's done nothing but give us a big d#*k up the azz? There is no future for anyone working here, no point in giving up family holiday when they will announce closure of all brick and mortar stores in January and be online only. What are they going to do - fire everyone, lol? They say it's mandatory to work that day but they can't fire everyone since they can't get anyone to work there since the public knows it's a dead company. Severance is 1 week pay for every year worked up to max of 8 weeks so not losing much there.
9055, your full of BS, go be eddies slave boy and worship him.
4th quarter is a very important time of year and while nothing has been announced yet, we should all be prepared to stay competitive with the other retailers. Thanksgiving Day, while we understand is traditionally viewed as a holiday, has been pivotal to sales and keeping us afloat. Look at it this way, if all the other stores are closed then that is a perfect opportunity for us to really Wow! new members who have to visit our store to get their Black Friday shopping done. Its a win-win really.
