black friday.... period

In my family Black Friday is a ritual almost, every year we always get ready to go! The women (girls) in the family always make a plan and we all go do our business. We tend to take black Friday very very seriously. You do not want to mess with us.

This year however was a little different because of the fact that all of the stores were opening a lot earlier than usual. None of us were very happy about it because our thanksgiving dinner starts at 6:00 so we are done by 7:00 and usually rest it up and play card games and have fun for the rest of the night, but this year we had to go earlier than usual so we had a lot of planning to do. Before we ate dinner we all sat down at the table and mapped out the places we wanted to go to, then we made a list of which place we will got first, second, and so on. Last we all made our own list of what we needed and wanted at the stores. We then ate and rested up because Black Friday can be a verrryyyy stressful event.

During Black Friday you usually tend to see the worst of people, I narrow it down to about 3 types of people:

Person #1: Devil Shopper: the shopper that tends to be the rudest and most selfish. They tend to budge in line, push people if they are in their way, very determined to get what they want ( and yes, even if it involves taking it out/stealing it out of someone else’s cart). Mainly when you come about one of these types just ignore them and stand your ground, don’t let them get away with it!

Person #2: Caffeine Runner: this is usually the shopper that a) drank four monsters before coming shopping or b) is still drunk. These shoppers are my favorite, they are usually hilarious to watch and are very excited and jumpy, they tend to run and never stop talking, when they shop they aren’t very determined but they have fun all in all.

Person #3:  The Guy: this person usually doesn’t really care about shopping, yet they get stuck with all the crappy things, like carrying bags or getting the car and pulling it around, or the worst saving a spot in line. When you see them they are usually never happy and sometimes grumpy, I try to stay away from them. All in all I feel very bad for them.

My family is mainly full of the type two people, we go to have a good time and still get what we want, and if we don’t we don’t, and yeah it sucks but we move on, we make it a ritual and its one of my favorites. (474)
