Labor day is currently a sham. The whole point of it was to honor workers with a day off. So what do most retail businesses do? Do they close? No. They hold HUGE sales, which require their employees to come in on a day that's supposed to be honoring them, and make them work even harder than usual to accommodate the crowds coming in for those massive sales.
Just like Black Friday, I avoid shopping on these days, and I avoid working on these days. I don't get a paid day off, but screw it. I'm not going to work harder than usual on a day that's supposed to be honoring my work.
