No, the employer wouldn’t be open if the restaurant didn’t make money. Demand creates an incentive to open.

I’d rather an Indian restaurant or jewish/Israeli restaurant shut down for holidays that they want to celebrate than to force Christian culture on everyone. Let businesses operate as they want to. Don’t like it, then quit. Open restaurants today are a minority and the demand for restaurant workers is still there so move if it’s not worth it.

You’re “entitled” to eat as a paying customer wherever is open today bc it’s open and serving food to customers.

You do actually, if I show up to your open restaurant and pay you money

Why isn’t a Hindu allowed to earn some money today? Bc Christians decide the holidays?

The Chinese Jewish Christmas Day meal is a literal tradition.

It is still a tradition in many Jewish families. Tradition doesn’t mean sacred.
