    • 立场：拒绝在感恩节开门营业

    感恩节当天，沃尔玛、塔吉特（Target）和Kmart等美国大型零售商都开门营业，以便借假日购物旺季大赚一笔。今年，沃尔玛开始营业的时间甚至比去年早了两个小时。但好市多拒绝加入“黑色星期五狂欢”，感恩节并没有开门营业。首席执行官克雷格•杰利内克认为，给员工放一天假比提高公司利润更加重要。

    • Stand: Costco CEO Craig Jelinek refused to open on Thanksgiving Day

    Major American retailers including Wal-Mart, Target (TGT, Fortune 500), and Kmart all opened their stores on Thanksgiving to get a jump on the holiday gift shopping season. Wal-Mart even went as far as to open its stores two hours earlier this year than it did last. But Costco (COST, Fortune 500) refused to join the trend of "Black Friday creep" and kept its doors shut. Chief executive Craig Jelinek thought giving his workers a day off was more important than increasing his company's bottom line.
