I agree that I wouldn't worry about it. You're most likely goinh to be on your feet for those 12 hours in the middle of the night which you aren't use to - you're going to burn off a lot of extra calories / energy anyways. just watch your portion size if you're that worried!

I have vowed not to calorie count on Thanskgving. it'll be my first break since I started dieting so I'm fretting over letting go for a day, so I know how it feels to just be thinking about it for day's until it happens - I need to take my own advice!

I'd also say just eat what's there and maybe bring something small that's healthier but just remember that it's a long, all night shift and you'll need lots of energy. Sucks that you have to work though, good luck!

I really don't understand the point of having employees work such long hours on these kind of days. Like, I understand having to work, that's cool. And I even understand them opening at midnight. But why do I need to be there for TWELVE HOURS? What's wrong with working a normal 6-8 hour shift? And the thing is, all of the employees have to work. I don't think there's enough room in the store for us all; I know there isn't in my department. I really just don't understand this concept of having everybody work obnoxiously long hours. What's the point?

I guess they think you guys can control the mobs of people better with a heavier presence of employees to say "HEY stop trampling people"??
