It sickens me how shoppers will do anything at all to get what they want.

Yeah I worked Black Friday from 5 am to 3 pm and it was so strange. Macys opened at 8 pm and it was crazy right when they opened but then after that it was just dead. I was trying to understand why the store needed to be opened 24 hours. 

This is why online shopping was invented. Less crowds and less stress.

I was looking at a lot of those Black Friday deals at stores that's close to where I am. It was actually pretty mellow there. Yes, there were a lot of people, but it wasn't that outrageous, and I can walk where I was going. Guess I was pretty lucky there. Of course, I didn't buy anything, because 1. I'm broke, and 2. because there's not really much items that really interested me.

Though, it would be easier to some to look forward to Cyber Monday. Though, to me, it's not quite the same as being in a physical store with a number of people. IDK, that's just my opinion..

Black Friday and Christmas itself just brings out the worst in people. They were human beings before this time.

If anyone pays attention to South Park then you know what I'm talking about when I say this. But you know it's bad when a Satire show like South Park can use real life footage for a joke that is about Black Friday and is more realistic then it was intended. For those that haven't seen it watch the 3 latest episodes cause it's a 3 part storyline. First watch Black Friday and watch the other 2 in order.

Think Black Friday is best day to get a deal? Think again

Bargain hunters can avoid the Black Friday weekend crush, several experts said.

only a tiny percentage of customers end up with the most desirable deals.

The weekend is crowded with misleading promotions, including deceptive discounts off misstated "original" prices and deals that could have been had a year earlier,

some door-buster prices are available throughout the year,

The best deals for toys come in the last two weeks of the holiday season,
But that doesn't apply to the most popular playthings.

Wal-Mart started offering "Pre-Black Friday online-only specials" on Nov. 1.

"We wanted to get consumers into the gifting spirit early and not wait for Black Friday or Thanksgiving,"

ugh

There are some good deals out there to be had, but any more it doesn't pay to do the Black Friday thing. You can get most of the decent deals days before or after the actual "Black Friday". And online deals are just as good most of the time. At least in my experience.
