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.
Not to worry.
They will circle back to it.
Always on board for a little Target bashing but the minimum wage bit is not true if referring to the federal minimum wage. Target starts at $13/hr and is due to bump up to 15.

Squirrel!
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.
Me personally, you won’t find me anywhere near a store on Black Friday.
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’...
Or a 7-11. I’m calling BS on this piece.
The local Walmart has a barrier up this year, can’t have your customers trampled getting to your CHEAP CHINESE MADE GARBAGE. I stayed home, no 71 yr old, even armed has no business on the streets and in the way of the Stampeded.
Not ‘Free Stuff,’ But Public Goods: Ocasio-Cortez Denounces Neoliberal Talking Points on Publicly-Funded Education and Housing
AOC IS A COMMUNIST POS. ONLY CONGRESS NEEDS MORE, NOT YOU. LETS KILL SOME MORE BABIES AND CHRONICALLY ILL TO MAKE ROOM FROM HEALTHIER ILLEGALS.
The wording of this is suspect.
It was a quick and easy topic to meet her contract’s requirement for a column today. You don’t lose readers by going on about Black Friday: everyone wants to share a story or two.
My 19-year-old daughter got off work at Panera at 6:00 a.m. (she’s a baker), came home and had breakfast, and then took off to shop before she goes to bed for the day. Our local Walmart doesn’t get especially busy on Black Friday. There is about the same number of people, only more of them are buying large home electronics items than usual.
I’ll bet most people who use “trump” as a verb don’t know its context.
I do shop on line, in fact over 90% of all I buy is on line.
I’m heading out to get cheese. Mimolette Isigny. It’s nutty and so am I. And a bottle of wine for tonight. One simply muuust hahve whuinnne with one’s chuueese.
I went to Home Depot this morning to get my son a cordless drill. (gotta love it when millennial age kids want tools)
The first person I saw was a middle aged black woman who was selling HVAC cleaning services. She commented on my Trump hat and how much she loves the President.
Later on as I passed by her, we say a guy wearing a MAGA hat.
He and I started insulting each other for our hat choices and having some fun.
I’m in a reddish area of a deep blue state.
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.
It would be great entertainment to watch the results of ANTIFA harassing Black Friday shoppers lined up to ready to storm the gates of a walmart.
