Sadly, if people didn’t shop on holidays, the stores would not be open on them.Personally, I refuse to shop on holidays. I believe that the only people who should be working on holidays are those with vital jobs such as police, fire fighters, hospital staff, etc.
Where I work (Residence for People with long term disabilities-NOT A NURSING HOME), we’re paid double time for Christmas, and time and a half for all other holidays. We then got an equal number of hours off, to be used by the end of the next month.
Worked for a major telco and when I first started for the first 18 months I worked about every holiday for the double time or time and a half along with the differential.

You would think that call volume would be really low on a holiday.
