The earlier hours made the wait time and store capacity higher. People waited over 3-4 hours in the stores to get the deals at different times instead of the in/out shopping. Most stores offering this did not participate in offering Doorbusters online - only in stores.this year. And online pricing was higher than in stores.
i totally agree when we are giving thanks for what we have there are people waitng outside for more and more and more and dont even stop to think about the holiday.
I just mean because it is more promoted, the store would be more noticing a disaster did happen. In that case, there is a higher chance the authorities would be contacted quicker in case of severe injury. That's all. Maybe it would work, maybe it wouldn't.
WOW! I have shopped on Black Friday & I never saw it look like this. I even forgot it was Black Friday. This is riduclous. Glad my Wallmart isn't like this.
Someone I know asked a Walmart employee what they were doing for Thanksgiving and the Walmart employee said as she rings up the order "Your looking at it" she said that the workers are being forced to work on Thanksgiving so that way people can get their deals. To me that is inhumane. These people have lives to you know. They have families they want to visit but they cant because the big wigs at Walmart say they cant. My cousin is working at Jc penny. He had to work last night from 7 p.m -2 a.m
No, no trust me I don't think there's going to be any change soon but as Margaret Mead said: "Never dout that a small group of concerned people can change the world, for indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." Whatever it takes, no matter how big or small, count me in.
It has nothing to do with race! The strength of "Black Friday" usually gives a very good indication as to how the entire holiday shopping season will turn out.
apparently thanksgiving is not about giving thanks for what you already have and spending time with loved ones, its about shopping... it disgusts me, what about the workers at walmart and other stores its not fair they dont get to spend time with their family.
We live in a society instead of crowding through the doors to volunteer at a soup kitchen, they trample each other to buy plastic shit that in no way improves their lives. This is disgusting and I really need some ideas on how to help stop this.
As a Dutchman, I am absolutely surprised about how uncivilized and idiotic the American society sometimes is. Of course, not all Americans are this stupid but what I don't get is: Are all these deals so important that people are willing to fight for the stuff? Can't people just be happy with the stuff they already have? Is this really neccessary? What an idiotic world we live in these days, and I'm only 16 years old...
I never shop on black friday, its for broke homeless people.... yet you see many people there that just waste their time not helping the less fortunate. Shameful.....
Buy & consume, buy & consume, buy & consume, buy & consume, buy & consume... what a terrible and irresponsible message to pass on to the next generation. Every major holiday has become a commercial circus show.
The zombie apocalypse? The death of a nation? The annihilation of the human spirit? All of the above? What sort of title would you give to this spectacle? Caption it.
I went to black friday shopping in the Friday afternoon. But I felt people were wasting so much money just shopping unimportant things.. People were keep saying "it's just $5!!" .... but I wonder if people who bought "just $5" things use them within one year... It's just funny watching Walmart videos, but I think Americans should think before they buy something on discount sales..I'm not from America, so it's just funny for me to watch people running around.
I was online looking at the ps3 bundle with infamous and uncharted collections on best buy, for 199 but I was about to order it when it was sold out, until I checked songs type
Customer feedback says it wants to shop earlier on ''Black Thursday'' If was up to these so called ''Customers'' they would want to shop ALL DAY on Thursday and screw those workers out of eating with their families and enjoying Thanks Giving for what it was ment for... Stay at home & spend quality time with your family over a nice meal.
Then today he has to work from 6 a.m to who knows when maybe twelve hours from now till the store closes. So he literally will be running on no sleep for this day all so people can get the same deals they would get on any day. To me thats just sick and inhumane to treat your employees like that. No human being can run on know sleep and I would be very suprised if he gets a chance to eat all for the entire day! I work at a store and if its busy you cannot take a break!
pffff stop ha I'd love to see you even try. We drive a consumerist economy, It's a vicious cycle, that won't change for a long while. There is a long road ahead before we realize that we suck and we need to fix ourselves.
i love how TV's and blue-rays are dirt cheap, but yet i see apple's ipad which never dropped the price for a fucking IPAD 2 it's literally not even being made and they still squeeze our balls for something they are going to reform in 6 months. Just drop the price!
i did it this year for the first time for the experience. not my cup of tea. too many people and i live in a town of about 50,000 people. plus my mom thought id lose my temper and get put in jail......haha.
Anyone who stands on line all night outside the Mall or Best Buy etc.. etc.. to get a "deal" on Black Friday is a Certified Moron. These "deals" last all week. Hell, I was in the Mall Wednesday night & it was DEAD. Everyone was in the bars getting wasted & I was literally negotiating with the sales people on what the prices were & I paid the price I wanted. haha
How am I a "Semitic-American" precisely? You should do some research on "Black Friday" because you seem to be very confused. I like my name very much thank you and as a black person, I don't find the name racist at all.
aman to that they should out law black friday the outlaw after thanksgiving sells it's not safe people get push shoved rob and things get snatched people get trample and hurt I hate this time of the year I would never out on those days
haha i know this is pathetic... i would understand if it was free but they are just saving apprixmately 50-100 dlls -_- ! They humiliate themselves for that much WOW

For a start, how about they promote and display maximum capacity in stores like these? That way, people won't be getting as crowded.

Crazy shit. Next year Black friday will be right after Halloween and then Easter.
When i went to black friday last year at walmart it was empty and there was still a lot of stuff left.
It has nothing to do with race! The strength of "Black Friday" usually gives a very good indication as to how the entire holiday shopping season will turn out.
apparently thanksgiving is not about giving thanks for what you already have and spending time with loved ones, its about shopping... it disgusts me, what about the workers at walmart and other stores its not fair they dont get to spend time with their family.
Wish more people had flamethrowers for these kind of situations.
I had work today but I'm thinking next year I might go JUST FOR THE THRILL.
Best Buy is selling iPad with $40 saving. They are immediately sold out.
I feel like I am living in that movie...Idiocracy.
We live in a society instead of crowding through the doors to volunteer at a soup kitchen, they trample each other to buy plastic shit that in no way improves their lives. This is disgusting and I really need some ideas on how to help stop this.
i only ever go to best buy to grab a couple movies, and thats only if i cant order them online
This is why I just give my family the gift that is me! :P
I wanted to go so bad, but I'm sick, my family left me home alone on thanksgiving to :(
Im pretty sure its not that...
what you do is take your family some lawn chairs and sit back and watch the people fight. ha!
what is blakc friday and how expenisve is all the stuff?

Tommorow im leaving my house at 12:00AM tommorow until like 4:00AM.... to go black friday shop
funny thing that walmart brought back layaway early this year. think more people would take more advantage of it.
I never shop on black friday, its for broke homeless people.... yet you see many people there that just waste their time not helping the less fortunate. Shameful.....
America is rapidly becoming an Onion Movie.
Even if you get that super cheap tv you will still feel empty inside.
welcome to america, people!
Buy & consume, buy & consume, buy & consume, buy & consume, buy & consume... what a terrible and irresponsible message to pass on to the next generation. Every major holiday has become a commercial circus show.
yeah somehow I doubt 'customer feedback' had anything to these greedy corporations decision.
So there's no Black Friday ???? Please respond !
The zombie apocalypse? The death of a nation? The annihilation of the human spirit? All of the above? What sort of title would you give to this spectacle? Caption it.
