Roxie sent a message to Marvin R. Ellison – President of J. C. Penney Company Inc.- email address that said:

Good morning,
I do hope this email will be going to the CEO of JC Penney stores. I just want to share my thoughts on the advertisement I just saw on NBC. First off, I do understand business and the need to be competitive etc. My concern is regarding black FRIDAY, why does it need to be on Thursday? Thursday is Thanksgiving, a day we as Americans have set aside to give thanks for our blessings. I had no problem with early Friday morning, even midnight was okay, but Thursday at 3 PM you are opening? When do you expect Americans to give thanks on this holiday? I know I am only one voice, however, nothing ever changes if nothing is ever said.
Sincerely, a disheartened customer,
Roxie
