Who is giving up values for profit? If the consumer did not want to go to a store on a Thanksgiving they wouldn't. If enough people did not shop on the holiday, the store would not be open.
It is also interesting raising the "value" stance. Some think its manditory or ok for police/fire/medical to work on a holiday. Yet, it is sinister for a retail or food store to be open.
Comparing emergency workers to retail doesn't work.
My whole point about values is, if people are fine with other people working on holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving for the sake of convenience, then put your values where your mouth is and be willing to work too. I've a feeling people would change their tune if their own place of business sacrifices holiday for profits. I would ask them why anyone should get the day off at all?
