On the other hand, a lot of people get four-day weekends at Thanksgiving, but banks are open on that Friday.
When I first got hired at the bank as a teller, it was August. When November came around, everyone was talking about how they wished the bank closed Friday as well as Thursday, so there would be a 4 day weekend. I just started laughing.
When they asked what I was laughing about, I explained I had spent 10 years in the retail world, and worked Thanksgiving each year, so to finally have Thanksgiving off, I was more than happy to work that Friday.
