Yesterday, New Years Day, I went to a pharmacy for a needed purchase. I was so grateful that the women there were working, I thanked them. They looked abashed, obviously grateful that someone would thank them.

Now I am retired but when I was working, I never forgot to thank my subordinates who worked on holidays so that others may
get their required needs.

I have not thanked anyone for working a Holiday because I have worked many a Holiday (Christmas Eve, New Years Eve and sometimes Christmas, New Years, and every other Holiday) because it was my turn to do so. Yeah, it would have been great for someone to acknowledge I was going the extra mile, but was not expected because if you choose to be in a certain field, it is expected and it would be foolish to appreciate an award like "Thank you".
I know, this is not what you wanted to hear, but on the same note, it is great to hear that someone actually is appreciative that some people do work 24/7 to do the right thing even when it is not only not beneficial to them, but inconvenient to them due to family demands.
