Does anyone shop on black Friday? I would rather have my nails puller out with pliers than shop then. My wife and daughter go out. Insane.

I do my grocery shopping Friday mornings religiously.
If I go grocery shopping at Walmart at around 11:00 on Black Friday the grocery side is empty and for one day out of 365 all the registers are open.
Apparently the half of the County that camped out from the night before stripping the store bare of the B.F. blowouts within 8 ½ minutes after the doors opened, have gone home.

I don't do any of that. I absolutely cannot stand crowds esp. when it is jammed packed and you must be very near to others....strangers....close to your personal.space. I never go shopping under any circumstances if I can help it. The internet is my best friend.

I refuse to participate in that Black Friday nonsense! Why anyone would wait overnight (or longer) in a line to buy one of five what-the-f**k gadgets/toys/whatever is insanity personified. I shop on Christmas Eve. If what I want isn't there, I don't care. I'll go back a couple of days AFTER Christmas and get it for less, anyway!

Hello no. Cant get me in a Walmart any other time of year I with out a doubt would not go on BF with all the crazy people. People turn into complete animals. Id rather shop online, point and click my way thru the holidays! With the tax savings just as cheap.

I used to work at Circuit City and Sears for Black Friday when I was in college. I have gone out a couple times but only for a deal on something specific I was looking for. I got a great deal on a refrigerator and stove one year. Other than that, I would never go out to just go. I feel bad enough for the poor souls that have to work it.

The hell with black Friday all these damn stores are open on Thanksgiving day. My wife works at Michaels in the frame.shop and they are open 4pm to 2am, who are these a..holes that need to go shopping on Thanksgiving to all you idiots that would shop on Thanksgiving thanks for ruining mine. If you know one tell them thanks and go to hell from me. Happy Thanksgiving to the rest of you.

lol. Yes, Ms Fury loves to do it. She will get together with several friends and will run all night, showing up home at 8 or 10am. Often, she will get some sort of deal that makes it worth it, at least to her. I will tell her to specifically stay out of Michaels! Myself, no way would I enter that mess. Back in my Kmart management days, I came to the point that any holiday was terrible, especially the day after Christmas.

Yet you still shop there.
No one makes them work at those jobs. They go everyday of their own free will. What rights are they being deprived of?

No, I have never shopped on a Black Friday. Actually the last time I shopped for Christmas was back in 1984. I went with my girlfriend to Union Square, she lived in San Francisco, and stopped by Macy's. I spent most of the time standing in a corner of the massive store trying not to get rundown. For me it was just as bad as being on the freeway during rush hour. God knows what it is like today.

My wife and I used to go all the time, when all the kids were living home. We absolutely loved it. A good time chatting with some folks and making fun of others....

I'm okay with black Friday, its the Thanksgiving hours that all these stores are opening up, its compromising the specialness of black Friday. LOL
