SUMMARY: As Thanksgiving approaches, retail stores are preparing for the busy holiday shopping season by seeking extra help. Customer service and holiday-related tasks such as gift wrapping and decorating are among the areas where stores need assistance. The need for extra staffing extends to both small and large businesses, with some larger stores requiring up to 15-20 additional staff members. Many stores offer training for those who are not familiar with retail work, with the main goal being to have the extra staff ready by Black Friday. Some stores have already filled their holiday positions and are decorated in anticipation of the upcoming holiday open house events.
