So I went to the Starbucks on Commonwealth across from BU last night, and for some reason on their hours sign, in the same professionally crafted lettering as the Sunday and Monday-Saturday hours, they had Christmas Day as well as Thanksgiving hours listed.

Who lists those year round? Who buys professional letters for them? What is the point? Do I really need that information 11 months in advance just in case I need to plan my Christmas or Thanksgiving day coffee needs?

I've seen other places do it. It probably saves them some hassle with regards to posting special hours around the holidays.

The hassle of printing 1 paper sign?

Yeah but the BU Starbucks is probably run by scrub BU students who can't be bothered to put up extra signs on specified days.

Yes, it was. Speaking of that, I had to buy light bulbs so I went to a hardware store near my apartment on Saturday afternoon.

The store is the size of a Senior House single, and there were THREE employees there, all with tattoos and piercings. 1 girl, 2 guys, ages 19-24 probably.

What in the world did the store need 3 people for? No one was in there, likely I was the only person there all day. The kids were sitting there doing nothing, and I don't think the girl even knew how to use the register. It took a consult to get my light bulbs properly charged to my debit card.
