Moving Black Friday Up A Week Could Save Thanksgiving

Personally I am Going Galt on Black Friday - actually most days from now on. If I don't absolutely need it I am not buying it, if it comes from a blue state I am not buying it. Democrats or Republicans don't fear us because they don't feel us.

What happened Tuesday is what always happens: we get screwed, we bitch and complain, then we pick ourselves up go back to work and pay our taxes. Really why should either party care what we think if we just roll over like a bunch of weak pansies?

just remember the same mob that voted in Obamaclaus will be at (insert your favorite store here) with their EBT cards all expecting (insert black friday deal here)..

We all know what they do if they don’t get what they want.

I’ll be at home.

I do retail POS support. If a register goes down on black friday I’ll fix it.... Monday.

I won’t be feeding the social disgrace known as “black friday.” I have never seen herds of people acting like rabid dogs as they do on modern day “black fridays.”

The whole dark commerical ritual has become materialistic, dehumanizing and disappointing. No joy in shopping on Black Friday. No savings if you lose your soul in the process.

When stores open 8pm , many employees will arrive at work as early as 6pm. I cannot many of them head to work after being with family considering they will until 4 or 5am. Many may sleep by noon .

Gracious sakes alive! Whatever that's supposed to mean has my head spinning.
