Let me begin by saying I have worked retail for the last 22 years. I've worked as a cashier, stocker, and every level of mgmt from key carrier to store mgr.....and I hate Black Friday.
I have no problem with huge sales to draw in crowds. My problem is with the way the crowds behave. And it is not all of them....a good many are simply there for the fun of it....I don't get it, fun waiting in the cold and losing sleep? to each their own.
My problem is with the me me's ---the ones who think that no matter where they are in the crowd, they should get what they want and to hell with everyone who was there ahead of them.....the ones who think that if they don't have that one item at that certain price, life is over.
The ones who, as I heard today, pepper spray their fellow shoppers so they can get the deals before anyone else. The ones who literally trample on top of others to get there first. The ones who would probably decapitate their own mother to get what they want.
Because they want it.
Grow up, go home, get some sleep. It will all be better December 26th.
