Friday. Not Monday, not Thursday, not Tuesday. Friday.
Is anyone else uncomfortable by the fact that a national holiday is being trumped by retail? I say, more power to the department stores if they open at 6am on the 25th but to start opening as early as 8pm on Thanksgiving day? Hogwash. Are the savings really that enormous that people leave family functions early to buy goodies and/or work for the people going to buy goodies? No, they are not. Are the savings really that commendable that people pepper spray one another for a game console? Negatory. On black friday, humanity descends into a bargain hunting piranha. With 45 years of black Friday under our belt as a nation, and black Friday now turning into black Thursday late night and Friday, my hope is that something saves the tastiest day of the year from turning into another retail chump.
