Yup

I'm one of THOSE people. I'm one of those sicko's that get up day after Thanksgiving and shop. Why? Awesome damn deals, man. I don't care about the people, my opinions of them couldn't be much lower then they are now. Ok, I must be off to save the world of.....something impressive I'm sure. Later!

As a retail employee, I just get to see the unpleasant side of 'Black Friday' Rude, greedy, pushy people trying to avoid paying a reasonable price for presents they are mostly getting to compensate for being such asshats to those they claim to care about the rest of the year.

There! I feel better. I got to get some cynisism out and use a really run on sentence to do it! ;-)

Actually it's somewhat entertaining being on the retail side of things. The higher-ups really don't care if we make money or not as long as the sales figures are better or at least as good as the year before. Those of us who've been around a few years just watch the circus, enjoy the free lunch we get, and manage to do as little work as possible.

I've worked the Holiday season from the retail end. I was lucky and didn't have to work Black Friday, but it was still pretty manic. :) You crappy old goat. ;)
