Phil has such a narrow fucking view of how the world works. Decades ago, Wal-Mart used to give Thanksgiving off, that was one of two holidays they gave off; the other was Easter. Every other day was a work day, maybe you were lucky and didn't have to go in, but other people were there, manning the store and selling shit. And now, with Christmas nudging its way into the end of October, and "Black Friday" starting between noon and 4PM on fucking Thursday last year; who the fuck does he think gets the day off? Can't discount the transportation industry, the healthcare industry, entertainment/gaming (casino), gas stations, restaurants/fast food (because non-cooking people got to eat). Even the "government" guys; you have security standing guard, every military base has a certain amount of personnel on base every weekend; it's called duty. Sure you may not be standing post, but you can't go home or leave base, because it's your duty section which means it's your time to get fucked on a big holiday (or God forbid you're under special orders getting shot at in another fucking country). The country doesn't stop for the Norman Rockwell holiday that exists in his fucking head. His time tossing salads in the mall or whatever it was should be plenty of experience for him to know he's full of shit.
