Who are these people??
There’s one thing I’ve never understood, and that’s the appeal of Black Friday. So, while I might be able to understand the sick, twisted fascination to go out and buy holiday presents on the craziest shopping day of the year.. but who are these people that get up at 5am to hit up target and “beat the crowds?”
Why bother? It seems to me that these sorts of people either have nothing to do and get off on this sick sort of behavior or just want the bragging rights of being able to say “I went shopping on Black Friday and lived to tell the tale.” Do you want a bumper sticker or something?
Please. Give me a break. Stay Home — there’s plenty of time to shop tomorrow.

I did a 4am run to Kohls one year on black friday and let me tell you I made out like a bandit. Myself and a few dozen others got an additional 40%our total purchasea at the register…this was in addition to on the rack purchases, and a few 30% off coupns that they allowed us to tack on. All told, we got about 700.00 worth of jewlery, clothes and home goods for a shocking 170 bucks. I had gone with my three sisters and mom, so we capped off the morning with a 6am run to the local diner for omlettes and pancakes. What a way to start the holiday weekend!!! I was quite happy :-)
