Please don’t go to restaurants on thanksgiving if they are open. Those people don’t want to be there, they want to be with their friends and families like everyone else

As a former bartender, I hate to break it to you, but that’s not the case.

As a current cook, I disagree

Than don’t work, if they’ll fire you over that fuck em. Everywhere’s hiring. Every place I ever worked at holidays were optional, and we ended up having to divvy them up as we would fight over who got the tips.

Cooks dont get tips

I mean, like I said, if you don’t like your job get a different one. Not to be an asshole, I’ve worked with many cooks I respect the shit out of. But you know what you’re getting into. Regardless, literally everywhere is hiring right now. If you didn’t want to work tomorrow you should have spoken up, if you got fired for speaking up than fuck em.

I appreciate what you're saying. There definitely are some that are forced to work that day. Maybe a family owned restaurant would be more likely to have employees that want to be there.
All that aside, I've personally worked almost every Thanksgiving from the time I was 35 till I was 50. I didn't mind being there, though I'm also not working a job I don't like to begin with and the double time and a half in the following paycheck was quite nice to get just before the holiday's. There are also people out there that love having an excuse NOT to be with family all day.
