I now know why they call it Black Friday!

Posted by Kiel on Nov 23, 2007

I often heard of the madness of Black Friday, but never believed it. Well, I finally experienced it today. I was up at 5:30 AM for no reason really, I probably got too cold. So I decided, “hey, I’ll go to Target since they open at 6 AM!” I have to tell you, it was crazy. A parking lot that is normally empty at 6 AM looked like it was 6 PM… it was pretty full! And the entrance to the store? People were streaming in like ants, grabbing carts (I can still hear the “clacks” as people separate the carts and run off into sales nirvana.)

It was mostly women… and they were grabbing all the DVDs on sale. Perhaps the busiest part of the store was the electronics as people were aiming to get whatever was on sale: DVD/TV combos, digital cameras, gaming systems, DVDs, if it was on sale, people were clamoring for it.

As for me? Well, I bought a couple of the DVDs that were on sale, but mostly went to buy some food. :) Now I will probably pop in one of those movies and rest for a while… dreaming of my first Black Friday experience. I hope my future wife doesn’t partake in this madness… I don’t want her to be one of those women that are normal 364 days out of the year and then goes crazy the day after Thanksgiving! Ha ha! Well, that’s all for now!
