In the D.C. Area, most (if not all, except malls, grocery stores, etc.) shut down on Thursday and Friday. I've had the Friday off (holiday leave) since I moved here.

 

[foreigngirl]

it depends on the company, not all are the same. My husband gets Thursday abd Friday off

 

[Lestat]

Oh yeahhhh!! Thursday is Thanksgiving Day - all is closed; Friday is Black Friday - all the shopping malls will be packed to the gills, some good sales tho if you can stand being out in the shit.

Where I used to work, we were open Friday, technically, but a skeleton crew only. The whole office was closed in general, but a few people had to work. So some businesses/companies may be open, some may be closed - it usually varies. As for Friday - check with your bank, etc to see if they're open as some choose to be closed, but most do not - being Black Friday they may want to pick up some business with everyone being out.

Satch nothing shuts down here in the US. We are a money hungry arrogant country. Stores are even open on Christmas! It's a shame that people just can't get together with family and friends during the holidays. It's work! work! work!.....So too answer your question some things may shut down early 5 or 6 pm on Thanksgiving (thur) but thats it. Business as usual the rest of the weekend. At least I get Thur and Fri off of work paid

Around where I live, everything is closed during the day - well except for some gas stations & 1 particular restaurant.......but at night after 6/7pm is when the bars reopen!! I guess so you can go out & drink aftert spending the day with family!!
