This is a list of stores that will not be open on Thanksgiving day: Additionally, REI will be closed on black Friday and will be paying their employees to stay home and be with their families. Thank you REI for choosing families over crass commercialism. I will have to make a point to shop in your stores.

As shoppers we have to support stores that show our values this way.

I saw that and was so impressed. I really hope this sets an example for other companies.

Actually REI is paying their employees to do what they like best and head outside. http://optoutside.rei.com/

We don't have that problem here as our thanksgiving is on a different day than the US and there is no Black Friday craze here at thanksgiving
