Dumb article!
It is written as if we the people have no choice but to rush out on Thanksgiving to buy “stuff” and because of this our families are suffering. All B.S.
I personally and others I know would never subject ourselves to the mania of a crowded to the rafter store loaded with rude fools who stink of desperation.
I am not alone in feeling this way. But there are many who actually enjoy the madness and the satisfaction of scoring a great deal on something or other. They should not be criticized.
Personally with the exception of food I buy 95% of everything else on line with delivery the next day, no shipping and only tax added. It comes right to my door, no hassle, no traffic and I save considerably on the great majority of items. The rest I can get when I do go shopping for food.
The author also presented herself as having no choice but to visit a "big box store" to get diapers and wipes. Her nearest grocery store or dollar store carries those items.
There are none of those hassles when you shop on ‘Black Friday’ on-line.
White Liberal ‘Elites’ caused the economic meltdown then mocked families trying to give their kids a nice Christmas. One more reason to condemn white liberal ‘elites’...
I hate going shopping at a mall. So exhausting. You couldn’t pay me enough to be there today. But I also am not into stuff. I can’t stand living burdened by all that garbage. I like ebay and thrift stores. The Dollar Store. I am not into keeping up with the Joneses. I have no debt.
Racist!
I will bet an ice cream bar that less than 10% of the shopping population even know what “Black Friday” means.
