Okay I will say that I don't participate in Black Friday. I don't understand it. I know Many that do. I spend Black Friday sleeping and resting from Thanksgiving festivities. Now Cyber Monday, that's when I start the my little shopping.
Black Friday this year is unreal. It all starts Thursday, Thanksgiving Day. I've seen some stores opening as early as 6:00 am Thursday. My problem is not with the shoppers, it with the stores. Thanksgiving mean nothing to them. That apparent they put Christmas out right after Halloween. Their employees mean nothing to them. Have them working instead of being at home for the holiday. Instead of being Grateful all for being able to be a store and take a moment to say Thank You, they rather run them into ground by working them all these hours dealing with sale hungry customers.
Target says they are listening to their customers by being opened early. Target, in my opinion, is listening to the dollar bill. All these stores are listening to the dollar bill. I won't be surprised if being opened Thursday won't bring out the crowds that they think they will get. I won't be surprised some people are still gonna act up if what they want is out. I won't be surprised that opening Thursday won't bring in the revenue they think they will bring in. I will be surprised if their employees don't feel abused and misused.
A store is about the workers and customers. Only half of the store is being heard. Let the employees off that day and enjoy their holiday like everyone else.
So I guess this year I spend the shopping holiday Cooking, watching the Macy's Day Parade and Eating with my Family. Because Black Friday starts on Thursday. Now that I'm thinking about it Thanksgiving get NO LOVE. Already only have a Few Holiday songs for the occasion. Now Black Friday is honing in on it's day. *sigh* I still celebrate you Thanksgiving. *BIG* Hug!!!
Alright that's how I feel. If you are out this Black Whatever day Be Safe & Pick me out something nice. Can't go wrong with Diamonds. *smile*
Happy Thanksgiving!!!
