It is good to save on things but Black Friday is pretty out of hand in my opinion. The Black Friday thing has been going on in Canada to some extent now in recent years and it's nuts enough here, I can only imagine how things get in the US.

People seem to go to enormous lengths that day, getting up madly early and travelling for miles and miles. <br /><br />It's baffling. Now I love a good bargain but the scale of Black Friday seems huuuuge. I wouldn't really know though, in fairness!

Ok, I *did* need coffee after the Thanksgiving feast so we headed out for that and that only. And pizza at our local Mom and Pop shop. <br /><br />What upsets me so much about Black Friday is that:<br />1. it's all about greed and insanity<br />***2. it's now happening on Thursday!<br /><br />I can't believe how many stores were open at 8:00 or 9:00 on Thanksgiving Eve! THAT! THAT is insane! That pisses me off to no end. How in the world can you ask someone to work on Thanksgiving? I mean, I get working in bakeries in the morning because I did and the pie and bread orders have to go out. But Target? Walmart? Seriously? Grrrr ... this whole thing makes me sick!Doctor Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10990742017081696114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7228517110241516790.post-74949219418770669902012-11-24T09:23:16.340-05:002012-11-24T09:23:16.340-05:00Oh I'll have to check it out!Oh I'll have to check it out!Meagan Kylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02680863577397634959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7228517110241516790.post-6000545987904907832012-11-24T09:23:04.283-05:002012-11-24T09:23:04.283-05:00Yeah, I'm a goofball ;)

Since I live in Buffalo and we're so close to Ontario, I'm used to Canadian friends coming down to shop sales, etc. Interesting about the Canadian stores.....<br /><br />Yes, I agree with you about working retail and Christmas. It made me HATE the holidays and I was very 'bah humbug'. Now I enjoy myself while decking the halls and not wanting to deck customers.

In Canada we have sales that try to compete with Black Friday, but nothing outstanding. The big box retailers pretty much accept that their customers have flocked south of the border and that a measly 15% off isn't enough to lure them back.<br /><br />My most hated time working in retail was Christmas, when people were stupid enough to drag their asses in the day before and say "Why don't you have this product in stock? Are you kidding me?" I would just laugh at them and walk away like an asshole.

I believe it's the thought that counts with presents. Handmade gifts or ones bought at a unique little shop are the best. :)J.Banehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195276109146618481noreply@blogger.com
