I liked working black Friday cause my store never did sales and the irritated, disappointed looks on the piggish faces of our subhuman suburbanite customers were enough to sustain me for an entire year.

I'm not gonna do any shopping, but I am going to park my car at Walmart in order to tie up a parking space. In fact, I think I'll get there early so I can waste one of the close ones by the handicap spot.

Kind of on topic, I found out yesterday that Spencer's gift sells, like, a lot of the stuff highlighted in the worst things for sale.

Hmm I could consider but does it come with a certificate of authenticity with a picture of the African children responsible for mining the gold and diamond put into it? Perhaps with a little feel good blurb on a piece of paper and an option to donate a dollar towards partially educating these noble child laborers?

On one end of the spectrum you have retailers like REI who decided that they're going to be closed on BF this year so you can be with your family, go for a hike, etc.

Then there are the retailers like Old Navy who feel the need to correct this massive imbalance in consumption culture by offering $1M to "someone standing in line at Old Navy on Black Friday".

And thus a great disturbance in The Force has been corrected.

Sorta...instead of having everyone line up at the door, they open up the stores ahead of time and have you line up at one (1) item, for which you get first dibs once the Black Friday deal commences.

So its no longer a mad dash through the store's entrance to grab a TV and then a computer and then an iPad before they all run out

No problem, nothing better than watching people on welfare running around like wild hambeasts. While it does kinda suck working on Thanksgiving and Black Friday this is when retail employees get their hilarious stories that last until next year. So keep on keepin on.

Actually a lot more people have been killed when you consider the entire supply chain. Hell just the numbers for African child miners and Chinese factory slaves is probably approaching 100k in the last decade.
