A three-day weekend in celebration of Labor Day allows you extra time to do whatever you want. Except, go to Costco<\/a>, a bank or the post office.<\/p>\n

The holiday<\/a> was first established in the late 19th century when labor activists lobbied for a federal holiday to observe the many contributions American workers have made to the country’s well-being.<\/p>\n

Now, the day off is symbolic for the “last hurrah of summer,<\/a>” as Labor Day weekend is the last holiday weekend of the season. This year, it takes place on Monday, Sept. 7.<\/p>\n

Though most grocery stores and liquor stores remain open for Labor Day, some establishments also take part in the federal holiday.<\/p>\n

Are banks closed on Labor Day?<\/p>\n

According to the Federal Reserve Bank<\/a>, Labor Day is an observed holiday.<\/p>\n

Bank processing will stop on Sept. 5 at 3 a.m. and resume Sept. 7 at 5:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

The bank also observes:<\/p>\n

Martin Luther King Jr. Day<\/p>\n

What about post offices?<\/p>\n

According to the U.S. Postal Services website<\/a>, USPS will observe Labor Day as a holiday.<\/p>\n

Since USPS does not operate on Sundays, the postal service will be open Saturday, Sept. 5 and then resume operations on Tuesday, Sept. 8.<\/p>\n

USPS website and self-service kiosks will still be available.<\/p>\n
