Black Friday


I just returned home from a little post-Thanksgiving workout at the gym. On my way home on the muni, a mad rush of people got on my train at the main shopping station. Crazy shoppers with tons of bags, ostensibly full of Black Friday sale items, pushed their way through the doors and grabbed empty seats.

Do people really get up to break down stores' doors at 5:00am? Is it really worth it to grab that "deal" being advertised across the country?

Being in the retail industry, I understand the importance of the holiday shopping season, but I simply cannot get on board. I do my best to avoid all shopping venues on Black Friday. I think it's best for my sanity that way.
