Thanksgiving and Black Friday have all but merged with stores now opening their doors on Thursday night for shoppers to take advantage of holiday deals. Excited consumers flood retailers on Thanksgiving night to get a head start on crowds, but many say that isn't fair for the employees who have to work that night.
Critics have argued that stores should remain closed to allow workers to spend time with their families on the federal holiday.
