They do a very nice meal with appetizers, soups, etc. being a buffet, then the entrée being from a special menu and then again desserts from a buffet. It makes the day very special, throw in the great food and beautiful setting and what could be bad.

Seriously. Can't you cook for yourselves once a year? The only reason any restaurant is open on Thanksgiving is the greed of the proprietor. Believe me, no one wants to work on Thanksgiving. Restaurant employees have families too.

When you're out watching fireworks on the 4th of July or attending Halloween parties, we are standing around in an empty restaurant rethinking our life choices.
Mark R. wrote:Gary, as you said you work in a service industry and working on holidays is part of the industry, something you knew going in and others in the industry should also know that. It's not a shame that some people have to work on this or any other holiday because otherwise many of us wouldn't be able to enjoy a nice meal for the holiday due to extenuating circumstances.
