Shit just seems fucking dangerous. You always hear about people being trampled/beaten up/killed at Wal-Mart and shit. Stores are probably filled well behind their capacity. Traffic around retail areas is always way more dangerous since everybody is probably road raging. Not to mention anyone who has to actually work those days is being yanked away from their families on a fucking holiday. All so you can save $200 on a television that the store is trying to get rid of because it's not a very good product and they can't sell it otherwise.
Black Friday is a terrible thing that needs to be regulated.
I don't disagree with you at all.
1. Make the sales be week long.
2. Ensure proper stock levels.
3. Not open during the holidays. No one should have to skip out early from dinner because they have to go to work for the ensuing madness.
