I hate going to the stores. Virtually everything I buy is online now. Today, Amazon sent me the link below to their black Friday deals.
My daughter works part time at a retail store in the mall when she is home from college on break. She had to be there at 5am today. When I dropped her off, the parking lot was half full already.
Black Friday Deals - (
New Window )
My daughter's friend works at some other large store and they hired 70 additional people just for the holidays.
On some items you can save big so its worth it to people who need to save more. This year for some reason my parents want a Roomba for Christmas. I looked online and Target has them for $100 off. I went the store this morning at 6 am (I work at 6am) and they were all out. I had to order it online and have it delivered. The deal is real good so I got 2 one for my in laws as well.

Why would go to a store on Black Friday if you could order it online?
and then I watch the best of humanity on display.

which is almost ever year, she drags my wife all around on black Friday. This year she did not come so my wife gets a break.

I am working anyway. There is never anyone there at this time and Id rather pick it up if they have it. and not worry about delivery or getting packages stolen.
At 7:30pm on Thanksgiving. Fucking Kohl's.
Sickening. Can't people just spend the holiday with their family?
Now? Everything has been quiet I guess since they started opening stores at 6pm on Thanksgiving. One thing I do notice is the people who flock to Walmart and Best Buy on Black Friday are NOT from the local areas.
I do a go around Walmart once a year and since we got one in Little Egg, I will get some DVDs or games that are cheap and remaining. I knew some of the workers so they hide stuff for me over the years. Now that's not really an issue.
Biggest thing I got is an iPad in 2013 (and a Walmart gift card) that I still use today.
It was kind of a nice, bit of a reunion for everyone who had parents that moved out of the area - that were visiting home. I maybe see four or five people who I know when I go out on Black Friday. Life gets boring I guess as you get older!
And that's why it's called Black Friday.
I usually start there, then look for stuff I really want or need.
On the bright side, maybe the videos can be used to expel racism. There are all kinds of dumb, trashy assholes - white, black, hispanic, asian, male, female...
