BLACK FRIDAY
Well Thanksgiving is coming up and as most people know that mean the busiest, craziest and best day to shop is also coming up.
I have to work Black Friday and I am so excited I can't wait for all the hectic and craziness. I am also excited to watch everyone that just HAVE to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars on that day and will do what ever they have to to get exactly what they want. People do insane things to make sure they get what they want for the price they think they should get.
A short history lessons (because they are so fascinating!)
The earliest known reference to refer the start of Christmas shopping to Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving) was a newsletter from 1961 that is clear on the negative implications of the name and its origin in Philadelphia.
For downtown merchants throughout the nation, the biggest shopping days normally are the two following Thanksgiving Day. Resulting traffic jams are an irksome problem to the police and, in Philadelphia, it became customary for officers to refer to the post-Thanksgiving days as Black Friday and Black Saturday.
As many of you know people get stupid violent, Some people get injured other people have gotten killed.. And the shoppers never seem to care. They want their deals and they want to shop and they will not let anyone stop them!
I have never shopped on Black Friday and I never plan to. In my opinion the deals and the savings are not worth my life or someone else's life.
I'm curious to know what everyone else thinks about Black Friday, If you are one of the many insane and brave people that go shopping, I want to know why and if its really worth all the craziness?
