Black Friday
Surprisingly, I didn't see a thread for this so if there is one, I apologize.
What does Black Friday mean to you? Great deals and rock-bottom prices or old ladies being trampled to death in the name of corporate greed? Do you go out into the fray or stay home and lock your doors? Here is your thread to post about your thoughts, feelings, and experiences around...dun dun dun dun...Black Friday.

About 25 years or so ago I was in Dillards (probably called Gayfers back then) I had ventured out on Black Friday. Found a coat, steal of a deal ... this woman followed me around, she wanted it. It was the only one in that size. She weirded me out ... I was a little scared she might try to roll me on the floor for it.
Today, all the particular model of a 12" dewalt miter saw I wanted for a sweet deal at $199.99 sold out at both Lowes and Home Depot before I got there. I am not upset. It was the afternoon before I went to check. Here is what I find entertaining about Black Fridays as long as: 1. I am not involved 2. No one gets hurt There will be news clips - actually videos of people (from Jerry Springer show???) fighting over merchandise in a store. Watching this year's video news clips will crack me up. |

I went for my mom to a black friday shopping event last year to Walmart for video games to wanted to get my nephew. They were in a big cardboard box that had shelves on it, and wrapped in celophane. I met 2 young kids that were there with their mom, they asked me what I wanted, the kids grabbed the games for me cause they were low to the ground and could sit at the box right next to them. HAHAHA I cheated getting my games. But hell if I will ever go out again for another black friday like that one. NEVER AGAIN. I told my sister and mom on Thanksgiving, don't ask me to go black friday shopping.......it AIN"T happening here. LOL

Rocky, I took my father one year to the mall, at Kaufman's, for Black Friday. The man lived on a farm all his life. He went to the grocery store and back. I thought he was going to have an anxiety attack...until I realized what I was seeing on his face was "marvel"....he had never seen anything like that before. The memory is priceless!

Having worked retail for many, many Black Fridays I see it differently than some. The times where I've actually enjoyed myself doing the whole shebang (getting up before the sun, standing in the lines, freezing our fingers off, dashing for whatever deals we were there for, etc) was when I wasn't in the field and was years and years ago.
I don't dare do it now. Now, it's just vicious.

NOPE!
I think it's disgusting how people behave and act towards one another the day after they are supposed to be giving thanks, I find it disturbing that people get hurt, killed, trampled, stabbed or any other violent act for an object.
I also despise that workers have to work in these conditions for regular pay, they should be getting double time and hazard pay for that shit. OR better yet GIVE THEM THE DAY OFF... I have gone shopping on this day once, I came home traumatized and vowed to never do it again, I haven't since and that was about 19 years ago. Personally if it was up to me, I'd end it and not let it happen ever again. At least it would keep some people alive if it didn't exist. E.T.A. The above post is how *I* feel and view this particular Friday, it is NOT a general sweeping statement of all people who choose to shop on this date.
