Sure did stop being so defensive for crying out loud that is what wrong with people today?
I am very religious and respect all religions but a business is a business. 99% of companies this size are open when you are the size of BH Photo.
The people who run the place can still abide by their holidays but I have to believe they have a fair amount of people on their work force that are not Jewish that could at least man the order boards and process orders.
I have to think they are computerized enough to accept orders and get the process started also.
I am not Jewish, but have worked with many Orthodox Jews in my life. I think you should do a little research on how Orthodox Jews keep Shabbat (Friday sundown to Saturday sundown). In the very strict sects, one is not allowed to do any kind of work. This includes causing work to be done. If you require your employees to do work it is a violation whether they are Jewish or not. This would also include turning off or on electrical things, and accepting orders on completely automated computerized systems.
So no, for some, they cannot abide their holidays and get you your camera gear on Shabbat.
I completely understand however that many are not educated in other people's religion. So, I attach no ill intent to your post.
I do recall seeing pop ups on the B&H website on Saturdays that informs people of the delay caused by this.
