If I were an economist, I would probably start looking for all the other benefits that working Thanksgiving night would bring me, but at the moment I'm having trouble thinking of any. I must be here for some reason at least.
It is making me wonder how much of the economics is based on decisions we can't change. You see, if I had the choice now, I wouldn't be here at work. In fact, if I had realized in time that Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday, I wouldn't be here. But I forgot about that detail, so I am here for my regular Thursday night shift...which also happens to be on a Thursday.
The fact of the matter is, I would get so much more utility out of beating Xister at fooseball again than an extra $4. Money just doesn't do much for me these days; turns out you can't buy girlfriends, after all.
