Black Friday - Page 2

the best kind of black friday shopping is the black friday shopping in Canada because they have miniscule sales in comparison to black friday shopping in America but it's a ghost town.

I get paid on the 1st and 16th of every month. It's going to be hard to get something on Cyber Monday. I don't waste my time going to Black Friday shopping. My family has been going to the Texas Renaissance Festival for several years.

A day where all greed and frustration (personified) meet in a single store to trample, scratch, and fight for material possessions not even 24 hours after supposedly being thankful for not having them. It's disgusting and I'll never understand it. Have fun being incapacitated.

That's not what thanksgiving is about though. It's about being thankful for the things you "do" have. Some people manage to have self control as well. Perhaps not most, but it isn't just implied that you have to act like a psycho during black friday.

Well, same vice versa, if you were thankful for things you DO have, then you are plenty fine NOT having other things. There for are thankful for not having them.

Perhaps. It's implied, but not explicit.

Enough to rush into a store at incredibly shitty time in the morning and get possibly snapped at and or beaten or trampled to death? That is the point I was trying to make, we all want stuff but... [refrain earlier post]

I'd be interested in seeing a news article of someone dieing due to black friday.

Looking through all the black friday deals I can find it seems like they are just desperately trying to get rid of old stuff. I'm never going to find stuff from this year on high discount. So I suppose there is no reason in waiting until black friday to get a current gen graphics card.

Amazon claimed to have a black friday deal on one, but it was more expensive than it was on newegg even after discount. They really like to pretend like you are getting a good deal. This would still be useful for almost everything except computer hardware where you would want the most current hardware if you were buying new. Video games for cheap would be good.

I only worked one retail job that participated in Black Friday - and that was Target. Good thing I don't work there anymore as they're opening at 8pm this year.

I mainly like to attend Black Friday so I feel like I have a social life by yelling "AY MATE, WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING" to everyone I bump into.

They don't say anything rude back so they must be my friends.
