Stores who are closed on Easter Sunday

[quote] Traitor Joe's

Are you trying to be funny, or are you a moron?

Chick Fil-A is closed EVERY Sunday. Ditto RCWilley.

"Who" is for people, OP. Stores THAT are closed.

Aren't a lot of these stores now open on Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving is not a religious or holy holiday.

Well, Chik-Fil-A is closed EVERY Sunday, so no mystery there.

I've no clue about the others. BTW, COSTCO is also closed on Easter.

And Circuit City? How old is this list you're looking at, OP? Circuit City has been out of business since 2009. And according to their website, Trader Joe's is open until 5PM on Easter Sunday.

Whole Foods where I live is open on Easter.

The entire Houston Galleria is closed on Easter, except the hotels and the restaurants in the hotels.

Tell us, OP, do you disapprove of Jews taking time off from work for Yom Kippur?

Lord & Taylor's Fifth Ave store was open Thanksgiving Day but they will be closed on Easter.

Not the OP, but there's a difference between someone taking time off from work using a personal or vacation day as opposed to an entire company closing down to sanction a religious holiday, not a REAL holiday. Not everyone believes in Jeebus or an invisible sky fairy.

Ye, R11, but if the directors of a huge corporation wish to give their employees a holiday off, why should your materialistic wish to shop 24/7 prevent them from doing do?

OP has Alzheimers. Circuit City has been gone since the earth cooled.

Mary Magdalene's House o' Whores. Serving the men (and some women) of Galilee since 10 (B.C.!). Madam says she has a rising to go on Sunday. I don't know if that's her euphemism for an erection. Anyway, we're closed.

R12, it has nothing to do with wanting to shop 24/7, however some people do work days and hours that might preclude them from being able to shop any other time but on a Sunday.

WE ARE OPEN!

Why does Traitor Joe's hate America?

[quote]a religious holiday, not a REAL holiday

As the word Holiday means "holy day," it would seem that Easter and Yom Kippur are the REAL holidays as opposed to President's Day or Martin Luther King Day (which was created by the Federal government to obscure the fact that it was the FBI who killed MLK.)

OP,

Is there nothing else you can vent your troubled rage about?

Who the fuck cares? Why would this offend you, fucktard?

Whole Foods was a surprise, the employees don't strike me as "churchy"

[quote]some people do work days and hours that might preclude them from being able to shop any other time but on a Sunday.

Then they can shop online or else go to any of the hundreds of stores that ARE open on Easter. OP's real beef seems to be that he is offended that ANY company would dare decline his dollars simply because it's Easter Sunday.

Why?

Maybe because it's a holiday and their workers want the day off?

WTF kind of question is this? Are you anti-labor, OP? Another classist, capitalistic Log Cabinette who only sees the world through his self-absorbed little view?

Nothing on the Whole Foods website indicates they're closed in the US on Easter Sunday, only in one location not here

[quote] Wal-Mart

Some Wal-Mart stores are open, it's not a chain-wide closure.

Why? Because [bold]IT SAYS SO IN THE BIBLE[/bold], that's why.

I worked at the US Embassy in a Muslim country where our work week was Saturday through Wednesday. Since Easter is not a Federal holiday, we worked as usual on Easter Sunday.

Lots of federal employees work holidays.

Assholes forget that the combination of major religious and national holidays traditionally offered an important opportunity for families and friends to get together and celebrate. Therefore many places of business have been closed, in deference to the preferred wishes of employees and customers to do better things than conduct trade.

Sure, there has been a religious association with many of the days - Christmas, Easter - but Thanksgiving, New Year and Independence Day are among the days that very often saw closings.

Of course creeps and antisocial drabs their whims for fast food, cheap shoes, and whatever to be honored every day of the year. And they snivel that people still like to spend time together - or at least give it a shot in the name of tradition - one a few days in the year.

R28 needs to put down the Jesus-filled crack pipe...

I'll be asleep most of Sunday — skipping brunch because of the Xtians who will flood into my favorite spots with their spawn. Am I bad, OP? Do I get a spanking?

Perhaps now it's time to let R28 know that Easter's just a blatant ripoff from the Jews and the Pagans.

What's your point, OP.

OP, what is it that you need to buy so desperately that it can't wait til Monday? Christians get a day off, but so do a lot of minimum-wage workers who are worked to the bone normally. It's a win-win.

Easter Sunday is the Holiest day of the year.

Perhaps it's time to let R31 know that Christianity was founded by converts who had been Jews and Pagans. Most Christians can tell the difference between the sacred and the secular elements of holiday traditions.

Aw-oh! R19 has forgotten her chill pill today and took an extra ugly pill by mistake.... Guess she'll be wetting her bed again tonight. The word "fucktard" is just so offensive, hon. To retards AND fuckers everywhere!

Actually, R36, "chill pill" is more offensive than "fucktard."

OP, are you an anti-Christian bigot?

Hey, OP, today's Good Friday and the New York Stock Exchange was closed...

Will Woolworth's be open this Easter Sunday?

WTF ? I reserved the Pinata Room @ 1:00pm for a party of 25 relatives and friends.Those lying Taco Bell employees !

It seems to me, killing profits by closing on a prophet's birthday is very in consistent.

I don't know if it's still the case but Home Depot in Brooklyn used to be closed on Easter and as I recall, quite a few other stores were closed as well. It's ridiculous to close stores on Easter in a city with a large non-Christian and non-religious population. For people who are off only on weekends, it is annoying to have just one day to do all your errands.

Publix, closed Easter

Not a Christian but I think closing stores and businesses for ANY holiday is a good thing. Some of us retail slaves have to work holidays as it is including: Labor Day, Memorial Day and Independence Day New Year's Day.

Don't care WHY we close, just wish Americans could let people have a few more days off.

Even as it is, I don't an EXTRA day off, Easter is just one of my days off.

Macys Herald Square. Closed.

A friend went to the Moroccan Consulate in New York. They were closed. It was Labor Day in Morocco. They're open on our Labor Day.

BJ's/Sam's Clubs are closed on Easter.

OP, "Easter Sunday" is redundant. Easter is ALWAYS on Sunday.

But Sunday is not always Easter, r49.

Back when I smoked, I went to 711 to buy a pack of cigarettes on Easter and they were closed. And the owners were IndoPak, or, as my aunt called them, "heathen."

I had to smoke my relatives' menthols that day. It was the worst Easter ever.

Funny, everyone has quit since then except my aunt. She still buys cigs from the heathen.

I went to Lowes on Easter Sunday once. They were open but were closing "early" at 6 pm.

I honestly don't remember stores being closed on easter. I thought they had shorter hours. I must be senile.

In the 1980s I was in a beryoshka shop in Central Asia, which was the Muslim part of the USSR. We had a translator and her assistant accompanying us.

I saw one of the shop workers motion to the assistant. The assistant went behind the counter and into a little back room where the shop worker surreptitiously presented her with a red egg. The assistant beamed, hugged her and whispered something in her ear. I realized it was Orthodox Easter weekend. I guess she'd whispered "Христос воскрес."

I work at a big box store that's closed. I assure you, it has nothing to do with being kind to employees. If they thought they could make money, they would open. Only closing to protect the bottom line.

In Paramus, NJ stores are closed on Sundays. The town is home to four major shopping centers.

Each time it's up for a vote residents elect to maintain the law. (1) Workers can spend time with their families. (2) Cuts down on expense of police controlling traffic.

r54=Elaborate Scenario Troll. That never happened, r54.

I was at Key Foods this morning which will be open on Easter. Apparently, that has not been the case in previous years because I heard two employees quietly griping about it. They agreed that "It's all about the green."

In "laïque" France, where Sunday trading is generally prohibited, they get Easter Monday off. Same goes for the Monday after Pentecost.

I'm all for days off, regardless of why.

I'm not religious at all but I will happily take off Good Friday from work. Nothing wrong with letting folks have a day off to spend with family.

All stores should really be closed holidays. Not talking Halloween just the religious ones, New Years, and Labor Day. Give people time to enjoy themselves. Life is hard enough the rest of the year. But we are a 24/7 society so it's not gonna happen. Money will always have the advantage over people's rest and relaxation.

[quote] Elaborate Scenario Troll. That never happened, [R54].

Totally happened. 1983, when communism was king and the USSR forbade religion. I assumed the two women were Orthodox Christian.

I thought, "I didn't know they dyed Easter eggs different colors in this part of the world." I knew the Ukrainians and other people painted them with elaborate decorations. Later on, I found that orthodox religions only dye the egg red, no other color. It's supposed to symbolize the blood of Christ.

I was in Uzbekistan. There are Christians there. I just didn't realize it was orthodox Easter because I'd been in the USSR for a month and we'd already had Western Easter before I left the US. Before this happened. I'd always thought Western Easter and Orthodox Easter were only a week or two weeks apart. I didn't know there could be such a long difference between Easters. I didn't know western and orthodox Easter could be on the same day, either.

Lots of people I've talked to think Superbowl Monday should be a holiday too. That day has more people who call in sick than any other day of the year. Everyone is hungover after staying up late for the game.

My son has Easter Monday off from school. I went to Catholic school in the dark ages and we didn't have Easter Monday off from school. He'll, we didn't have "spring vacation." We had school Easter week.

I used to work weekends when I was a nurse and Easter was a religious, but not a state or federal holiday. So I didn't get time and a half. Bummer. I didn't really care religion-wise, since we no longer had Easter dinner once my grandparents and cousins moved away and I didn't go to church anymore. But I would have liked the extra money just for the hell of it.

I think this year Orthodox Easter, regular Easter (which my Greek grandmother called "white people's Easter) and Passover are all in the same week. That doesn't happen often.

More stores should close for more holidays. Americans get so few holidays off. People who in retail are robbed of many holidays other workers get off including: Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day (the irony!), New Year's Day as well.

I don't care what the reason, we don't need to shop more than 363 days a year.

I used to work retail and government jobs that required holiday work. I loved getting the premium pay for holidays, and so did my coworkers. The government job I had paid triple rate for federal holidays. When you work these kinds of jobs, holidays are just another workday. And a lot of workers enjoy being off on days when everyone else is working.

EASTER is one of the most widely celebrated and cherished holidays. A huge percentage of people consider it sacred and the most important day on the calendar. THere is no reason not to close for many stores and businesses.

R66 the problem is employees need the money. If the typical U.S. worker could afford to agitate for more time off we would have it.

I owe the grammar queens an apology...

It IS annoying when people refuse to adhere to the most basic rules of grammar.

Wal-Mart is only closed for one day a year-Christmas.

Trader Joes in New York is open.

We're all going to hell.

Stupish thredx i luv itsz soo difgrenet frum my cuntry///is so modearn

r51, your aunt is a bigoted cunt. Just so you know.

K Mart--at least the one I work at--is open. In fact, I'm going in at noon. It's a Super Center, though, not a regular K Mart or a Big K.

[quote]Is there nothing else you can vent your troubled rage about? Who the fuck cares?

I care because I would have to rearrange my whole weekend schedule because of this. I would need to do all my Aarons on Saturday instead of Sunday. Saturday is my day to socialize and instead I'm going to be having to be schelping my ass around to Best Buy, Target, Costco, Whole Foods and the like.

Actually in my town, Kmart and Walmart were both open.

[quote]I would need to do all my Aarons

GURL!

R78, Perhaps this person sleeps with several people named Aaron, and pleasures them all on the same day of the week.After all "Saturday is my day to socialize"

Walmart was open today. For once I was happy to give them my business.

No, Walmart is closed today.

Is In-N-Out open?

There are no stores closed on Easter Sunday in Southern California, maybe they’re closed in Mississippi.

Employees that have a bad Easter because they had their hours cut when their jobs closed and they get no pay, so they can't afford to buy a proper Easter Dinner.

Target

Chick-Fil-A

K-Mart

Wal-Mart

Best Buy

Traitor Joe's

Whole Foods

Michael's

Circuit City

Taco Bell

An ad for the ShopRite supermarkets in my New Jersey area says as with Thanksgiving and Christmas, they are closed for their employees to spend the day with family and friends.

Thanks, OP, I was planning on dashing to Kmart to buy jeans today.

what about Sears?

Cathedrals usually have a "late mass" on Easter for Catholics who work for bigoted cunts like OP and who don't give their workers time off for this most holy of days.

in what state/locations is Walmart closed today? They are open here in Northeast Alabama. There are even open on Christmas Yves/Christmas day!

eve not yves

Here’s a real question... it’s known for decades many stores are closed on Easter. Why? Cause it’s a religious Holiday. By law they can’t force a Christian to work on a Holiday like this, so most places close so they can enjoy the day off.

If you know this why are you all griping? Knowing this, you could have went YESTERDAY to any of these stores or you can go any other day.

Jesus. Some of you are just so mean, nasty and negative and expect to be served 24/7

Walmart is not closed on Easter Sunday.

[quote] you could have went YESTERDAY

Is there one "have went" queen or a whole army of illiterates?

So their employees can look for the body?

Funny when people who have Easter off complain about others having Easter off.

Circuit City has not been open since 2009.

So the employees can spend time with their family?

I’m going to a family dinner today. I get to because? They closed on Easter. Lucky me.

It is just fealty to religious belief. In the case of Chik-Fil-A I once had them as a client and the stink of shit stain Christianity is ever present in that company.

Why, OP? You're seriously asking why?

No one shops on a holiday.

Do your shopping another day, you fat whore!

Stores THAT

This thread is five years old and was inaccurate even then. Why are we bumping it?

Because it's the trifecta of a good post: it's inaccurate, brief and has poor grammar.

Public holiday and religious festival.

Trader Joe's is open. Just got back.

It's very irresponsible for stores to close today. People are going to die.

Meh to Easter. I'm just gonna lay a couple of eggs and be done with it.

[quote] It's very irresponsible for stores to close today. People are going to die.

Especially during a pandemic!

Shout out to all my peeps!

I think Whole Foods is open now that it’s taken over by heathen Amazon.

Circuit City ?

I heard Grants, Montgomery Ward, Chess King and Payless are closed for Easter also.

It doesn’t matter much to me because I’ve been stuck at home all day with the trots!

NYC is open for business today!

[quote]"Who" is for people, OP. Stores THAT are closed.

Maybe he meant "whores"

I hated when Dorothy did stand up

Dorothy? Oz or Golden?

[quote]Stores who

Oh, dear.

I completely forgot how serious of a holiday Easter is in terms of things being open. I was going to go a few places, but realized quickly that a lot was closed.
