I can see why you love your daughter... She's out there doing her best - she's not some whiny snowflake crying for herself or looking down on others... Good job Mom.
She is diligently doing a worthwhile job. Somebody has to bake all night if customers are going to have bagels and bread in the morning. Full-time hours, and it pays pretty well.
Honestly if people applied the value of their time itself they would see these “bargains” are probably not worthwhile; I’m not wealthy, but I’d spend quite a bit of money to NOT be on those lines.
As it is, I get up very early to ensure I NEVER see many of those people when I shop for groceries; makes for a happier life.
Her values are in the right place...
Racist!
I hope so. Teenagers have their ups and downs, you know, but I eventually turned out okay, so I expect my many and various offspring will, as well.
She’s really a dumb bunny or a big fat liar. No one goes out on Black Friday for diapers and a box of wipes unless they’re writing an article blaming someone and it’s a guarantee they didn’t buy any diapers or so much as left their office.
And the number of on-line shoppers cuts down on the number of people at the stores. I remember having to prowl parking lots to try to get a space. Last night I hit some of the big box retailers and at all of them I got a space without waiting. Sure, it was farther away than a usual day but there was no problem parking and the checkout lines were short.
The psych warfare masters need to focus the anger of their little minions.
I will bet an ice cream bar that less than 10% of the shopping population even know what “Black Friday” means.
> One simply muuust hahve whuinnne with one’s chuueese.
Just reread the article. You’ll get all the whine you can stand.
Not a fan of creeping Black Friday either... But.
Had a good friend over for Thanksgiving yesterday. Retired to Fl from MN and was a Target employee. Now working in a local store for something to do and make a little spending cash.
Yes, they opened at 5:00 and he had to work. Didn’t affect us because we ate at 1:00.
I don’t remember our family EVER having our big Thanksgiving meal in the evening. Always somewhere between noon and 4 PM. You’ve got to leave a little time for that feast to digest before you serve the pie! Or pick at the carcass and/or make a nice turkey sandwich for later at night.
Do most people eat Thanksgiving meals at night? Midwest upbringing. Maybe it’s a East Coast thing...
Some momths ago, I bought an item on-line from Wal-Mart and got on their mailing list.
Since Wednesday, I have been bombarded with:
ATTN: Pre-Black Friday DEALS ending soon
FINAL HOURS for Pre-Black Friday deals
BLACK FRIDAY STARTS ONLINE NOW
Black Friday DEALS Let’s do this!
Black Friday is here—FRI-NALLY
Black Friday ends soon—HURRY FOR DEALS!
Sometime today/tomorrow and Sunday I probably will get a POST Black Friday promo. Then possibly, a WEEK AFTER, LAST TIME blurb.

Sounds like the name of a 1980s Iron Curtain politbureau member.
I bought a new bed mattress on Friday.
I even laid down at the store... : )
Will see how long this one lasts. The last one lasted only 5 weeks before the depressions were too much and I returned it. 1.25 to 2.25” deep. Never buy the OrthoMattress store brand. Cost $687. Coils were about 250.
What I bought Friday. It has almost 1500 coils. $1,800 ($400 off sale)
