Companies aren't people. They don't even care about people.

While companies are made up of people, they aren't people, and except to take their money, don't even care about people. And this Thanksgiving is showing America how companies don't care, or really, even think about people.
Look at the paper and the ads on TV and don't immediately think to yourself, "Ooh, I've got to get that deal." No, ask yourself if you want your kids, your cousins, your parents, or anyone you are sitting will be sitting with Thanksgiving to leave and go to work at 10pm or midnight. Of course you don't. But no company cares, so tomorrow night, thousands if not millions of workers will leave their family to go and get a store ready for a sale. And is the store sale needed? Well, stores will tell you that 40% of their yearly profit comes from "Black Friday". But will opening a few hours earlier really add that much to the bottom line? And imagine if a company ran a full page ad saying that they want their employees to enjoy their Thanksgiving, and that they would open at 7am and have a true sale form 7 to 10. Not all day, or super early. And then they added that they want everyone to be at the sale, but they also know that happy employees make customer shopping easier and more enjoyable, so that's why they had this policy. Think people wouldn't notice and be at that sale, and remember that company throughout the year? But has any company done this? No, of course not. That's because they care more about trying to make a bigger profit than they do about their employees or their image.
Now, I spent 20 years in the military, so I know that there are some places and jobs that aren't able to take holidays off. But really, are Kohl's, Macy's, Sears and other stores places that can't be closed a few hours on a holiday?
Companies aren't people. They don't care about the people they know, their employees. So what makes anyone think that they care about people they don't know, the customer, except to get their money? It's been that way for a long time, but this Thanksgiving has just pointed out how widespread the condition really is.
