I disagree. gently caress you if you go out to buy poo poo on black friday too. People literally die because americans are such giant commercial whores, you know. Like, almost every black friday someone gets stampeded to death over cheap tvs.

Knock it the gently caress off. You won't die because you miss out on cheap garbage. Try to be a little less shallow plz.

When you buy something on sale it's like your saving money!

Yes. :(

Circumstances within my family and situations with child care require me to keep the flexibility of hours of my current job. However, those will probably clear up shortly after the first of the year, and then I'm applying loving everywhere that's hiring that isn't goddamn retail.

Yes, I'm posting this again. But it needs to be said every year. If you go shopping on Thanksgiving, gently caress you.

Now, the argument can be made "Well the retail workers have jobs, don't they? I'm giving them money so they can stay employed! I"m HELPING!" You know what? There's 360+ other days of the year you can give a retail establishment money. No store will go out of business if you personally don't go there on Thanksgiving.

Also, the argument can be made that other people have to work on thanksgiving. Nurses, police, fire, etc all work, right? You're correct. They do. However, the difference is that those are necessary functions of society that have to operate every single day. People get sick or hurt and fires start 365 days a year. However, your greedy rear end can wait another day to buy that big rear end TV. You don't even get the best deals on Black Friday anyway.

By going to the store on Thanksgiving, you are directly responsible for retail workers having to give up most or all of their holiday to serve you. You're justifying the decision the company made to take the day away from their workers.

If you want to go out on Friday, go nuts. Hell, empty your drat bank account. But wait until the day after.

OP, we all know the reason you are posting this is because you want those deals all to yourself.

I got gas from an Arab gas station. Across the street the Chinese restaurant was doing brisk business considering the day. The line outside the Indian run Dunkin Donuts drive thru was impressive.

These people are real Americans & give no fucks about your lovely, eating holiday. If I was alone I'd have gone to an Indian casino & had a good 48 hrs gorging myself on cigars, whiskey & a Puerto Rican whore on my day off.

God bless.
