While Black Friday is not new in Canada, I just noticed this year that many stores in Montreal are calling it Vendredi fou. Crazy Friday. Kind of fits.

although I don't work retail for the shoppers but I do work for fast food , and let me tell you we get cussed out because our coffee machine which makes one at a time , and these ppl are cold and ready to go for more shopping , so just think we fast food workers do get the wrath of those shoppers , when they have to wait instead of them going to get the deals

I had to give up my thanksgiving dinner with my son just so you shoppers can go get your deals !! and I agree we should get double pay for giving up our holidays just to make sure you shoppers get your deals

im not criticizing any shoppers just saying .. we have a family also , so please be thankful that we are there to serve your needs as well ..

also I note that anyone that's open for business on thanksgiving day is just greedy ...

I agree wholeheartedly with The_Lady_Snow. I get sick to my stomach when I see people being tasered, pummeled, trampled, kicked, and even killed over material goods.

That isn't to say I have a problem with people who shop peaceably on this day. It's just the violence that erupts over things that are ultimately so mundane.

No matter what religion you observe (or don't observe) that is not what the holidays are supposed to be about.

I am a black Friday shopper-not just for myself, but for people who can't get to the stores themselves. I have family and friends go with me to Wal-Mart and hold our spots in line. This year we got there at 4:30 or so for the 8 pm sale. Good thing we did cuz the store handed out the wrist bands for the 8 pm sales at 6 pm! That was NOT fair, but I didn't make the rules. All total, I saved over $700 for the 4 people I shopped for. They wouldn't have been able to have the gifts they do without the sales and while I do not believe in corporate greed, without these deep discount sales, some of the poorer people can't afford nice things.
