Wal-Mart vs. the Mob

There is a point there. Some people simply can't complain about working holidays because of their profession. Police, fire and many areas of health care come to mind. Retail does not.

It'll get set back eventually. Remember Boxing day?

Me neither.

Wick: Americans don't have Boxing Day, they really don't. When I say Boxing Day down here people look at me like I;m an alien.

It's a nothing day here, at home it's a Holiday.

It's really nothing here anymore either. Is it even a paid holiday?

[centrehice]

I think it's a paid day off in Canada. Always has been in the past.

Well, the point was Boxing Day was a shopping day. Then there were line-ups the night before. Then boxing week became a thing. Now no one cares. Black Friday is on the same trajectory.
