Black Friday is overrated and not worth the time a good portion of the time. Those who buy into it are mindless idiots.

If you pay attention to deal sites, you'd be amazed what's already going on prior to black friday. Someone joked about a 5 dollar crock pot above, and the funny thing is that I just got a 5 dollar crock pot from Kohl's last week via sales, coupons, and rebates. No Black Friday bs.

Besides, 99% of the time, half that shit on sale isn't even on my list of things to get people so it's totally useless. Nevermind that a good portion of their major "deals" are limited quantities sold out within minutes. Yet people camp out and froth over this bullshit like the mindless idiots they are.

I wish this country would boycott black friday, especially after complaining about corporate america and big business year long, you go out and show them that you're their bitch. On that note, Udemy has courses for 10 $ if anyone is taking any certs or just wants to learn new shit check that shit out.
It has become an ungodly thing and the fact that it has moved to Thursday is rridiculous. I left retail due to this crap... that and other things but it's HORRIBLE. My rommate, has had to work the past 4 thanskgivings due to the times starting earlier and earlier every year.

Last year a handful of businesses said F you to the big $ but not enough.

This year will be an exception for me. I saw the leaked ads and there are several things in there that will save me hundreds. The phones that both my boys wanted are free (with certain networks) but target is giving a $ 250 gift card plus a VR headset with the Galaxy 7.

I could get them free anywhere but that a $ 500 gift card and the VR headset that I was planning on buying anyways ( $ 75).

I'm hoping it's available online too but I will head out for that deal. I accompianed my cousin a few years ago and it was a stressful nightmare. Mind you, she dragged me in a zillion crowded stores, but it was awful.

It's disgusting. The fact that these companies are literally telling people who work for them, you don't get off on a holiday everyone else gets off because we wanna sell shit to people that wont need that shit the moment they purchase it, also you this turkey tastes amazing you should totally go home and taste some.

they will do a holiday dinner for them.. but overnight crews don't get shit, as they have the dinner around 3 or 4 pm. It's disheartening. Yes this is WalMart...

It has gotten ridiculous. Black Friday used to start 9am on Friday, every year they made it earlier and earlier and now it starts on Thursday afternoon. If everyone stayed home on Thursday the stores would get the message.

Some of the ads have been leaked and I gotta get to Target. I usually stay home and shop online because I refuse to fight someone for a $ 5 crockpot but the Target ad has things that will save me lots of $ $ $ $ $ .

Hopefully it will be available online too


Anything online at Tarjay? I refuse to go in any of the stores. Not enough pot for the after effect of greedy idiots.

Last year all the deals were online. I'm hoping the phone deal is online this year too. I have zero desire to go out that day.

Thanks sweetie pie! Yeah me neither! When I worked retail. I would go in at 5am and not leave until midnight. I think I quit right after.

I hear stores aren't going to open Thanksgiving. I hope so.

Wouldn't be caught dead.

I can't support an American retail-based holiday that people die at every year, by being stomped to death by other people who are trying to buy a toaster, THE DAY OF being thankful for what one already has. It's so trashy, fucked up, and just humiliating 😢
I have heard it can be that bad ....but the years that I have personally have went ...in the toy section the mom's where sweet they brought snacks and water offered to hold places in line ....I have people make sure that given up 3 of something that they wanted so I could have one ...

the only thing ITS SO FREAKING CROWDED ...put everyone says excuse me ..and you do to cause you can't help accidentally touching someone else ...but I never been involved in any fight, I have never yelled at anyone and they haven't ever yelled at me ..now that being said I really do wish that it was on friday ...it kind of messes up thanksgiving for me 😢

NEVAR! BF is the most gross, blatant example of hypocrisy I've seen in our society. Supposedly thankful for what one has one money, only to elbow and old lady on the face for a piece of cheap plastic the next

I may engage in cyber Monday, though.
I swear when I saw this I thought boyfriend? your boyfriend is the most gross, blatant example of hypocrisy I've seen in our society 😆 😆 😆

I used to WORK in that shit. I knooow.

If the deals work out for people, that's awesome. But on a yearly basis, people are in line for TVs and it's like god damn, how many years do you need to do this crap? I follow Dealnews regularly and they do the break downs on what you should and shouldn't buy during black friday and the like and funnily enough, they recommend not buying certain hot ticket items they advertise on black friday because you can get similar or better deals without having to deal with that madness.

I always love the canned response of "well they can just get another job if they don't want to work holidays!" *eyeroll* Ever think that maybe they had that job prior to these places deciding to stay open? Even if they got into it after the fact, it's getting slim that those seeking seasonal jobs are going to find a place that's closed on these holidays.

The last place I worked at, I knew what I was getting into working on Thanksgiving. As long as I worked a morning shift and was out by 3, I was fine since Thanksgiving dinner usually was around 5ish. But then their greedy fuck asses were open on Christmas. I am so glad I got the fuck out of there. Now I don't work either and it's glorious. 🙂

...hopefully the place I work for now won't decide to open on the holidays. The only thing they do on Thanksgiving is have sign ups to volunteer for going to help feed the less fortunate. So they're basically provided a full dining service with their Thanksgiving meals.

How long ago was this? When I had to work that bs, we opened at 6 or 7. I remember having to get up at freaking 5 am to go to work for that shit and there was already lines down the sidewalk and the employees were barely there to open the store. That was back in 1999.

I worked in a restaurant! Freaking fat fucks who don't want to cook go out to eat! Thanksgiving was one thing, but Christmas? Fuck that. Fortunately, we had some people were like "here's money, Merry Christmas!" haha.

But yeah, incredibly disgusting and greedy. It was a shit hole company who only cared about dollar signs and treated us like livestock.

Messes up Thanksgiving for YOU? You do realize idiots like you are why places are open on these holidays, subjecting the employees to working so your stupid ass can go buy shit.

It all started when one asshole company decided to "test" it out. When it picked up, everyone else was on board. All because of brainwashed consumers like yourself who see it as something to do.

Stay at home and go out on Friday. Dur.

On that note, Udemy has courses for 10 $ if anyone is taking any certs or just wants to learn new shit check that shit out.
It has become an ungodly thing and the fact that it has moved to Thursday is rridiculous. I left retail due to this crap... that and other things but it's HORRIBLE. My rommate, has had to work the past 4 thanskgivings due to the times starting earlier and earlier every year.

Last year a handful of businesses said F you to the big $ but not enough.

It has gotten ridiculous. Black Friday used to start 9am on Friday, every year they made it earlier and earlier and now it starts on Thursday afternoon. If everyone stayed home on Thursday the stores would get the message.



9am?

How long ago was this? When I had to work that bs, we opened at 6 or 7. I remember having to get up at freaking 5 am to go to work for that shit and there was already lines down the sidewalk and the employees were barely there to open the store. That was back in 1999.



This was mid nineties. When I went with my cousin it was a 5 am opening and that was around 2008. I thought 5 am was ridiculous.


So it started getting worse around late 90s haha. The beginning of the end!

I don't get why they even call it Black Friday when it starts on Thursday afternoon.

Plus I see "Black Friday" sales all year long. Perhaps it's time they change the name and just call it a sale.

Black Friday is overrated and not worth the time a good portion of the time. Those who buy into it are mindless idiots.

If you pay attention to deal sites, you'd be amazed what's already going on prior to black friday. Someone joked about a 5 dollar crock pot above, and the funny thing is that I just got a 5 dollar crock pot from Kohl's last week via sales, coupons, and rebates. No Black Friday bs.

Besides, 99% of the time, half that shit on sale isn't even on my list of things to get people so it's totally useless. Nevermind that a good portion of their major "deals" are limited quantities sold out within minutes. Yet people camp out and froth over this bullshit like the mindless idiots they are.
.......so salty
So mentally stunted.

Wouldn't be caught dead.

I can't support an American retail-based holiday that people die at every year, by being stomped to death by other people who are trying to buy a toaster, THE DAY OF being thankful for what one already has. It's so trashy, fucked up, and just humiliating 😢
I have heard it can be that bad ....but the years that I have personally have went ...in the toy section the mom's where sweet they brought snacks and water offered to hold places in line ....I have people make sure that given up 3 of something that they wanted so I could have one ...

the only thing ITS SO FREAKING CROWDED ...put everyone says excuse me ..and you do to cause you can't help accidentally touching someone else ...but I never been involved in any fight, I have never yelled at anyone and they haven't ever yelled at me ..now that being said I really do wish that it was on friday ...it kind of messes up thanksgiving for me 😢
Messes up Thanksgiving for YOU? You do realize idiots like you are why places are open on these holidays, subjecting the employees to working so your stupid ass can go buy shit.

It all started when one asshole company decided to "test" it out. When it picked up, everyone else was on board. All because of brainwashed consumers like yourself who see it as something to do.

Stay at home and go out on Friday. Dur.

no you idiot these places are open cause businesses wanna make money ...but um ...thanks for trying to pin black friday on me ....I don't know what tell you ...if you don't want to go THEN FUCKING DON'T GO ... I don't dictate when anything is open or when its starts ...if I start going to the bank on sunday ... will they open ...probably not they will just be closed i will have access to the atm ..you say you don't go on thanksgiving every year and alot of people don't .. does it stop them from having black friday on thanksgiving ...*gasp* it didn't ...

even knowing they would get alot more business the following day ...

The time that I accompianed my cousin I didn't even buy anything. I just watched in amazement.

Target is my friend this year though. Besides the phone deal on Friday I just saw that all decorations and wrapping paper will be $ 50 off $ 100 purchase on Saturday. If I can get the phones online I may venture out on Saturday. I just can't do two days though. I'm not that patient.
