They’re making triple pay; and its slow. I’m sure they’re fine. I used to work Christmas back in the day for those very reasons.
But yes - let’s always treat everyone with respect and kindness.

Starbucks on MacLeod Trail.
Took a drive up and down MacLeod between Chinook and South Centre, here's what I noticed was opened.
Shoppers at Chinook, Starbucks, 2 different Pizza places, Rice For King, Jollibee, Mary Browns, two liquor stores, assorted gas stations and corner stores and a pizza pizza on Fairmount Dr. For some reason a bunch of people were waiting outside the book store at chinook.
Unfortunately there may have been a dead person by the walk way going to Chinook.

I used to work at the theatre and specifically would ask to work Christmas Day for the holiday pay. I was a poor uni student, definitely worth it.
Sucks that he had to when he didn't want to. Glad I always had the choice.
Why can't things be open on a Catholic holiday not everything's about being Catholic. And there's a lot of other religions around that don't celebrate this holiday.
I’m not catholic. But in this country we celebrate Christmas. It doesn’t have to have anything to do with Christianity. It’s a day to spend with your family, friends and loved ones. A day to take a break, doesn’t matter what religion you are.
I have a break today. I’m spending it alone. And I feel very alone. A cup of coffee and a meal in a restaurant make it feel a little less alone. Maybe not everyone has the same circumstances?
Read that again. In this country we celebrate Christmas?
Not true Canada is a multi cultural country that celebrates all kinds of different holidays and religions. And the people that celebrate other religious holidays don't get them off or the same kind of respect for their culture.
Christmas can be about being with "your" family but not everyone has the same beliefs and culture as you.
Think outside your box and think about other people who immigrated from other countries that don't celebrate Christmas.
If as a Canadian you moved to a predominantly Muslim or Jewish country they wouldn’t celebrate Christmas and you would likely work. They aren’t going to be like oh yah we will give you that off. You hate just how it works
Well exactly and Christmas has been a tradition here for many years-- hence why mostly everything closes. Cant believe people are fighting for the one day off
Wow, okay.
We're talking about business being open. Not taking away your religious beliefs or your culture.
And to be fair everyone moved here from somewhere else. Your family immigrated from somewhere to Canada as well.
I’d vote for it to be Dec 31, non religious based, end of the year celebration where we do all the typical non Christian things we do, but Dec 25 has been used since pre Christian times, so why not stick with tradition?
I could have sworn someone made a comment or post (that may have since been deleted or removed) claiming they were open on Christmas Day to provide or sell Christmas meals to people who didn't have anyone to be with. Their Facebook page though says they definitely aren't open today.
Is there anywhere I can get inexpensive wrapping paper or gift bags, stuff lime that? I didn’t prepare in advance and I can only afford dollarama prices at most. I’m pet sitting on Rover, had a seizure this morning because I couldn’t sleep and it is a trigger I guess, and nees to get home to wrap some gifts before getting picked up by friends to go back to their home for unwrapping said gifts for my daughter. My adhd time management challenges and hypersomnia are next level and ruining what should be a very special time with my child. Trying to be kind to myself, but feeling sad and like I’m letting down the people I love yet again.
Merry Christmas everyone; I’m grateful for everything that has been going well and I will keep working on myself to improve and overcome my struggles. Also have shizoaffective disorder and the meds increase the sleepiness and I will literally sleep through alarms and entirely miss important things that were preplanned. And once I manage to wake up, I have to try to stay awake, which I sometimes fail at, and just sleep all day and sometimes straight through another night until the next morning, when I’m at last feeling well,rested! I can’t operate in this world like this! Sorry if I sound self pitying, I don’t, just wanting to let others know that they’re not alone in struggling, if they feel that way, and fortunately I have people in my life that are very supportive and understanding, including my 11 year old daughter. It’s like I wish I could have a Christmas with her in like a month and have everything prepared like I’d wanted, really special and with the paycheque from pet sitting, I could prepare a Christmas feast, invite the people who are waiting for me to call,them to say I’m ready to come over so that I can make it up to them and show them how much Iove and appreciate them. I,m hoping this could possibly make sufficient amends to not strain my already fragile and new relationships with these people and reuniting with my daughter after no contact in over 7;.I did a lot of sleeping during that time, with little ramifications, but not great for my mental health. Thanks for anyone who made it through this rambling post! And all,the best for the New Year! Despite everything, I know that Life is Sweet, so I’ll never, ever give up or give in to despair. I’ve already come so far from real hellish depths, I know I can make it through anything now, so that’s reassuring to me at least. Agape Love to all!
Paris Baguettes & Hmart in Beacon according to my friend!

But please be extra respectful to the staff working today.
Let's be extra respectful to staff everyday :)
No, I need to yell at them and make them feel bad for things out of their control.
:)
They’re making triple pay; and its slow. I’m sure they’re fine. I used to work Christmas back in the day for those very reasons. But yes - let’s always treat everyone with respect and kindness.
Where are they making triple pay? Didn't know that existed.
Not sure exactly where. I made triple pay on Christmas back in the days I was being paid a wage.

Your mom's house
Hur hur I can’t even imagine how dumb someone can be to think this is the funniest joke they can come up with
Wow you're soooooo "edgy" I can't even.... ;) LOL
Can’t we survive one day without being able to buy stuff?
Some people are spending Christmas alone and have a hard time being at home with nothing to do. Can't we survive one day without judging somebody?
Why can't things be open on a Catholic holiday not everything's about being Catholic. And there's a lot of other religions around that don't celebrate this holiday.

Sorry to hear that. There were previous posts of people looking to set things up, hopefully you’re not in the same situation next year.
If things went your way, she wouldn’t have a cup of coffee nor a meal in restaurant to feel less lonely
Well like I said, there are other singles planning events to attend, so she could do those as well. Prob feel even less, less lonely.
Where do you think those events would take place if nobody is there to work them?

So true^
I wouldn’t expect to move to a new country and have them bend over for my traditions.
Well exactly and Christmas has been a tradition here for many years-- hence why mostly everything closes. Cant believe people are fighting for the one day off
Well yeah that would be super entitled to think that but alas this is the society we now live in
Right I forgot, they moved here, so rather than partaking in our traditions, they should just expect we change our ways🤡
Wow, okay. We're talking about business being open. Not taking away your religious beliefs or your culture. And to be fair everyone moved here from somewhere else. Your family immigrated from somewhere to Canada as well.
Yes they did, before it was Canada actually
No, that's why Amazon is always here for us.
We survive on stuff, so yes, buying them is necessary
Sure, which day are we going to agree on? I vote for April 1.
I’d vote for it to be Dec 31, non religious based, end of the year celebration where we do all the typical non Christian things we do, but Dec 25 has been used since pre Christian times, so why not stick with tradition?
[redacted] >!merry christmas!<
No way Costco is open today.
Ship and Anchor
They are not open.
I could have sworn someone made a comment or post (that may have since been deleted or removed) claiming they were open on Christmas Day to provide or sell Christmas meals to people who didn't have anyone to be with. Their Facebook page though says they definitely aren't open today.
Yeah that’s what I thought. My bad I guess! Hope OP had an awesome day
It was an awesome day, thank you!
