It’s a time for family. It’s a time for turkey. It’s a time for profit.
Did you know that only the Super Bowl beats Thanksgiving for grocery shoppers for a one-day food event? So why on earth would a grocery store be closed on Thanksgiving?
Trader Joe's does a lot of things right - especially this Thanksgiving
I couldn’t believe it when I walked up to the Trader Joe’s cashier this past weekend. There it was, a postcard-sized sign pasted on the register: “Trader Joe’s will be closed this Thanksgiving Day to give our employees time to spend with their families.”
I’m not someone who gets overly attached to his grocery stores, but it definitely caught my attention. It was remarkable to see a company respect its employees in such a simple way, even if it meant sacrificing profits.
Happy Thanksgiving!
