[QUOTE="'Lord Brown's bidding', post: 1117688, member: 32753"] Depending on one's point if view, it is not dishonest. A "holiday" is a day taken off from one's regular duties, nowadays usually for recreational pursuits, but in past times for something more serious. What we call "vacation" over here is often referred to as "going on holiday" in other English-speaking countries. And even in THIS country what are often called "personal days" are technically "personal HOLIdays", and as explained to me once was to allow people to observe important "holy days" that were not recognized nationally or company-wide; can't close every time a Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, etc. "Holy Day" comes around. However, most people just view it as a day off. Sunday, BTW, is probably a good example of a "holiday" (or"holy day") most people don't think of as such because everyone-religious or not-is off from work....or USED to be, anyway (there is a reason very few businesses used to be open Sunday; we all probably know what it was/is, and it wasn't "football"-except maybe for an agnostic or atheist). Soooo....long story short, sheeting a business as "Closed-Holiday" on what is considered a typical work day-i.e. Mon-Fri-even if they are ALWAYS closed that day, is not "being dishonest", from a certain POV. Of course, we all should recognize that our POV should not conflict with management's POV, unless they are being dishonest......(nice how I was able to segue back to the thread topic) [/QUOTE]
