I work at Lowe’s part-time. The stores are closed Easter Sunday. Lowe’s has been doing this since 2020
We can all vote with our dollars by choosing not to shop and buy on Resurrection day unless it is a critical emergency. Perhaps some companies will recognize the drop in revenue and choose to close in the future.
I am thankful that stores decided to close it’s doors on Resurrection Sunday. However, I want you to be aware that many companies (including the company my husband works for) is observing March 31 not as Easter or Resurrection Day. They are actually observing ‘tr@nsgender day” on the calendar which is ridiculous of course!
Good Friday was not recognized even on the work calendar as it was not considered a “federal holiday” so my husband chose to use a floating holiday to get off today. Please pray about this. Pray for my husband that he will stand for truth and lead his family in the truth. Thank God our Lord is not surprised by any of this and He has the final say.
I think that transgender day should be on April Fools Day!
100% 😄
I take off Good Friday as well. Good Friday is very important,
Thank you Lord, for the stores that will be closed on Easter Sunday. Bless the employees and the corporate leaders of these store. Also closing this Easter is Kohl’s department stores here in Michigan. I pray that more store close not only on Easter but also on Christmas. I pray that in Jesus’ name. Amen.
I am thrilled to see this news. May it be a positive message to retailer & shopper both.
Thank you Lord !
