I love seeing a company that encourages its employees to observe religious holidays. People are so used to wal-mart type companies these days, where everyone works 24/7 whether it's Christmas or Easter, or the birth of their first born child! I always feel somewhat badly making that trip into the grocery on thanksgiving day for the last minute dinner item I forgot to pick up in advance, seeing all the people who aren't getting the holiday off.
Kudos to them for not giving into the consumer driven 24-7 mentality. And I've had nothing but great customer service. I called their main store a while back and their sales guy talked to me almost an hour about studio lighting to help me understand how it worked and what I might need. And after all that, he didn't try to sell me on the most expensive lighting, he actually found a really good deal on a softbox kit that has been perfect for my needs, and was less expensive than I expected.
I guess I can just sympathize, because from a Catholic perspective, my husband always has to take a vacation day or rush around to make it to mass for the holy days we observe without missing work.
And no, I don't think anyone is a bigot for disagreeing with me, but the closings for religious observances only add to my list of reasons to continue preferring these companies for my future buisiness.
