ToysRUs wasn’t so bad on Black Friday. No one beat me up.

However, I wouldn’t have wanted to be working there for anything.

Perfect, this was simply perfect. If this was at the other place I would be tenning you! The thing I hate most about Christmas is the effing shopping because EVERYONE is in a pissy mood. I’m glad I’m not the only person to notice that Repubs are generally a cheap ass lot. I have a Republican friend and I swear to God I usually have to add to her tip in a restuarant. One time her mother, a wicked Repub if I ever saw one, bragged that her daughter tipped too much. Holy hell!

Sometimes I wonder if Jesus is standing in heaven saying, “You know, I wasn’t nailed to a tree so you could save 75% on a fucking portable DVD player.”

I’m gonna remember that and quote it. Probably to a roomful of relatives, at some point.

There are things in this life worth getting up for at 4am – the sunrise, a frosty morning with the horses, an eagerly awaited road trip. Shopping will never, ever be on that list.

Ok, the comment above says it was made at 10:05 PM. Where the fuck is this site located? That’s fully six time zones away from me, which puts it somewhere in England or Europe. Unless the founders of this site just thought it would be cool to base everything on Greenwich Mean Time.

I wonder if I’m typing in metric.

Six AM? Try FOUR AM! We had about 300 people outside our doors when we opened the doors. I had to be at work on Friday at 3:30 A fucking M. What kind of inhuman freaks get up that fucking early to buy a goddamn shirt and some random electronics? I was, to be quite honest, completely disgusted by the abject display of avarice and materialism which heralded the advent of a season that claims to be about peace, love, giving and selflessness.

It’s retail, it was Black Friday, and it was a full moon. You couldn’t get much worse than that.

I’m an internet shopper. If I could shop groceries that way, I would.

There is just no fucking way I’m one of those morons waiting in line at 5:30 a.m. on Thanksgiving day for a sale the next morning. There is no deal on Earth that fucking good.

Also, I have no money.
Also, I hate people.

Misanthropic bitches unite.

I’ve only ever been on the receiving end of this mayhem – I’ve never been a black friday shopper.

I worked at a large record store when I was in college. I was a supervisor for much of my tenure. I decided to quit right after the Christmas season when I realized that I just couldn’t face another customer.
