I think it is way better to be able to go to bed at 10 or 11 pm, get up at 5:30 or 6 and be at work at 7 than it would be to leave your family's Thanksgiving dinner to be at work at 6 pm. Also, you could still have a couple beers or glasses of wine if you're not working until the next morning. If you're working that night, having any alcohol would be risky.
Yes, there are some service areas where you know that you'll have to work holidays. I don't think retail should be one of them.
