Ohh! Why black Friday though? It sounds so negative. I thought it would have been like shoplifting or something. biggrin.gif

I have never been shopping on blackfriday. But if you went into a store like Radioshack, and there are 2934284234 people, wouldnt it be easy just to jack something, and run?

what do u think i do?

in all seriousness though, i've never been shopping on black friday. i hate shopping in the first place, so i don't have any desire to go out with all those crazy people

Have any of you newbs even gone to a Black Friday before...? From what i heard, people come early to get in line then when it's time to start. The store will let 40 people in and the rest have to wait, then the next set of 40 come in.

That's not how they do it here. They let everyone in. I think it's to boost the employees moral when they see the fights.
I LOVE black Friday, because all the crazy soccer moms fight and it's HILARIOUS!!

I've always wanted to see how low the prices get on Black fridays since I've never gotten a chance to go shopping on those days. My friends usually wake up at like 5:30 to get ready for shopping. I wanna go this year. _smile.gif

Good sales but to me, it's way tooo crowded to bother. Who can shop when there's that many people all about to grab the same thing that you are?
Yearssss ago my Aunt took me to a shoe sale on Black Friday, I nearly got trampled on by millions of women screaming and fighting for the pair they wanted.
I don't even want to go again pinch.gif
Haha.

I've been to a couple of Black Friday openings, and I've never seen a fight - and they were both really crowded. I mean, there's some pushing and shoving to get into the door first, but no real like, screaming or punching. I know a ton of other people who go to these, too, and very seldom do you hear an actual fight occurs. Fighting on Black Friday is one of those sensationalist things that you can't wait to see, but get all dissappointed because it never happens.

Hm, I've never heard of a store doing that. Wouldn't that like, deter business? :/

ANYWHOOOOOOOOO. That website in the first post has made me all GAGAGAGA for Black Friday. xD Srsly - it's been a while since I was this excited about shopping. AHHHHHHHHHHH. I can't choose between Target or Staples - they both have really, really, really cheap 8MP cameras. The best part is both usually don't have super amazingly long lines - that's Best Buy. HOOOOOOLY SHAZ, BEST BUY. Get there at 6-7 if you want to be first. eek.gif

And just as an FYI (wow, that felt slightly pretentious to say), the prices from Black Friday remain the same for a couple of weeks, so the only really special thing about BF are

1. The EXTREMELY cheap stuff that'll run out in .297 seconds like that $300 laptop.
2. Feeling like a hardcore shopper for either wakeing up five hours before dawn or camping out in line.

It has to be printed in advance. I mean, it comes out in the paper so it has to be printed in advance and then it just gets leaked.

FYI -

Black Friday

Definition 1

September 24, 1869, the day the markets crashed following a failed attempt by some financiers to corner the gold market. Led to a depression.

Definition 2

In a more general sense, any Friday in which a public calamity occurred.

Definition 3

More recently, the term Black Friday has been applied to the day after Thanksgiving in which retailers make enough sales to put themselves "into the black ink."

Here are some sales - Dealtaker.com - Black Friday Stores / Sales

I went to a big mall outside of Cincinnati last year just so I could see people freaking out and fighting over things (I'm wierd I know ;]) but it was so tame. There were alot of people, though. But I guess I'm still going again this year.
