Answer 4

MLK Day is not a day off work, it is a day to remember him and his teachings. Just because people are going to work doesnt mean the day is any less significant. Plus many work places celebrate this holiday in various ways.

Not everybody gets every holiday off.

The only time I ever had Veteran's day as a holiday was when I was in the military.

My store is on the parade route.....there are lots of people, many don't appear to be "privileged." Lots of people work on all national holidays, and on Sundays.....so I don't really get your point.
