>>508044495you are correct, those holidays are usually claimed on a first come first serve basis. still, say food service involving tips, my best bud *chose* working on those days because
- it wasn't all day so he's still get family time
- people still go to restaurants on insane days like Christmas *day*
and
-choosing to work on such a day, they fuckin rake it in. seriously. people tip large for a variety of reasons, and they usually leave the wait staff alone since they're just trying to enjoy time with the senpai
It's a double edged sword, where the right attitude and understanding of time will gain serious money benefit.
