Cathy sent a message to Kevin Mansell – Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Kohl’s Corporation – Email Address that said:
Dear Mr. Mansell,
I am writing this letter to express how shocked and disappointed I am at the decision you have made to open your store on Thanksgiving Day. I'm appalled that your company would be so greedy and stoop so low to "cut" into family time on this important day just to make a few more bucks. This decision you have made really shows your character as a company - that only your bottom line matters. See, there's this thing called respect. And you have none. This important day is about thanking our Heavenly Father for all the blessing He gave this great nation. It's about stopping what we're doing to take a moment to recognize what our forefathers fought for 200 years ago. Clearly you have no regard for this important truth. You also clearly have no respect for your employees who you are forcing to work while you steal their precious family time away. I know, I know. By now you're probably laughing at this letter ready to wad it up and not give it a second thought. But before you do that let me just ask you one one quick question. Did you have a nice Thanksgiving with your family?
Sincerely,
Cathy
