Black Friday

Time of the year is back. Thanksgiving...nope..Black Friday is more like it! However as we all talk about our wants and speak of how each of us has got the best method of attack at the stores, is it really worth the time and energy? Are the retailers getting a bad reputation and losing customers because of words like 'Limited Supply' or 'Limit to 5', etc.

I know I always talk about going, but after getting my computer Thanksgiving day in 2005, and taking my cousin to Circuit City the following morning because he wanted a laptop. We get there and stand in line to be helped for a computer, they had some outtdated POS systems, but that's besides the point. After wasting a few hours standing there all of a sudden the lights go out, everyone is just standing there, since it's pitch dark. We later learned it was a power outage in the whole grid area. We left and he did not get a computer. :-(
