Yes there are businesses and govt services that are open today.  DO you think some of the people that work there are angry that they have to come into work today?  Should those places be best avoided due to disgruntled employees? Im talking about customer facing , retail places.

If they're pissed about working today they're probably pissed about every other work day as well.

I'm at work today. Not one fuck given.

It's not a real holiday, no matter how much Reverend A and Jesse think otherwise

I view it as an "observance" rather than a real "holiday". If businesses are open, good for them - we're a capitalist nation.

My company paid us triple time holiday pay. Nobody bitched about coming in that day. But everyone called it Robert E Lee's birthday.

No it is a real American holiday....you may not like or observe this holiday, but it comes around every year just the same.

This thread is racist.

Rev A and Jessie are both racist so they should approve of this thread.

Not angry at all. If I work a holiday I get a vacation day added.

Totally surprised the new Angry Birds Holiday episode is Popcorn Day.  My wife made note of the color of the popcorn....


ETA if this holiday went as in the past it would be called National Civil Rights Day or National Rights Day.  Just like they have done with Washington and Lincoln's Birthday changing to Presidents Day.  There were lots of people who pushed the Civil Rights Agenda forward, no need to give one credit over the others.....isn't that the message they strive for, inclusive?

I am getting paid today, but I don't have to work (state employee) but the only reason I am not working this is supposed to be one of my days off in our work cycle and has nothing to do with MLK, but I get paid for the holiday anyway. If I was working I would get double time.

When I worked on holidays, I used to get more work done.  Fewer people to bother me, no waiting for the xerox (the office printer) or copier.
