Pols call for Thanksgiving shopping big box boycott
Savino, Malliotakis charge stores ‘disrespect’ families by opening on holiday
Before you rush to finish your turkey dinner so that you can to get to Macy’s to hunt for bargains on Thanksgiving night, state Sen. Diane Savino and Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis want you to reconsider.
The two lawmakers are calling on shoppers to boycott the so-called “big box stores” that they charge are disrespecting the Thanksgiving holiday, family values and their employees by opening on Thursday.
Instead of shopping at stores like Macy’s Kohl’s, J.C. Penney and KMart, residents should patronize small, local, mom-and-pop stores in Brooklyn and elsewhere on Black Friday and Small Business Saturday.
