Day 4 – Black Friday LunaticsI’m willing to bet that 90% of my readers (all 6 of you) are going to disagree with this post. View this as a learning experience. Please don’t take any offensive language or accusatory remarks personal because there will be plenty. Remember folks – it’s not personal...
You’re all lunatics and a societal embarrassment.
My opinion on this topic is similar to my opinion on Costco. Shoppers racing around the warehouse are similar to the way you rats clamor to the front-doors of your local stores. Only this time you have the audacity to think it makes sense to sit outside your local Wal-Mart at 3am the night of Thanksgiving just for that discount that you can get the following afternoon.
And don’t answer me with the following:
“It’s not because of the discount. It’s because if we don’t go when it opens then there wont be any available the next day. They’ll sell out!”
Then don’t get that item. Move on.
Where is your dignity?
Someone also needs to rationalize the idea of pitching tents in parking lots in anticipation of the doors opening. Think about this, folks. Are you really setting up camp in the parking lot of some store on the side of a highway? And in doing so are you still looking yourself in the mirror and liking what you see the following day?
Let me pose you a question. Let’s say you’re watching a movie. In the movie there is a crazy scene where there are hundreds of people outside the local mall at midnight freezing their asses off. As the clock strikes midnight the doors of the mall open to an onrush of people. A proverbial running of the bulls only instead of running in fear of being gored to death they are running with a determination fraught with disregard for human life. Said determination ends in people being trampled. It also ends in you standing in another line just 10 minutes later. Is this an act you would find envious or would you scoff at such actions?
Folks, that wasn’t a movie. That was you last Friday. Embarrassed?

If I have to stand in line in the freezong cold for 8 hours for something, then I really don't need it!
