I am not planning on going out and shopping on BF. I am not fond of crowds and all the crazy pushing and shoving. Our Hancock Fabric is crazy on Black Friday. There is always a huge crowd waiting for the doors to open. I went one time and it was a mess. I really felt bad for all the employees there.

The whole concept of BF makes me angry. Why would you do that to your customers and employees? I thought after the deaths a couple of years ago, this madness would go away. Just do some reasonable pricing all the time and I would be happy. Cyber Monday seems a whole lot saner.

Not on your life! Other members of my family treat Black Friday like a strategic war. They assign drivers, pick up and drop off locations etc. I stay home and shop online. I would become a raging lunatic stuck in traffic, waiting in hours long lines. I would like for people to continue to think that I am a sane and kind person.

I have worked BF at a Hancock's not a big deal. Last year there were 2 people waiting for the doors to open, I got a lot of work done that day.

I will be going to Joanns. I make hundreds of Linus quilts and I like to back them with flannel. I asked the clerk at Joanns if they will be having their sale on flannel by the bolt again this year. She said yes. My husband is going to retire at the end of the year so I need to stock up on fabric at the lowest price I can get. Aside from that I won't be doing much shopping.

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving. It's called that because it supposedly gets the merchants out of the red and into the black for their year's sales. Thanksgiving Day have huge sales flyers to let you know what's on sale, but because of stores opening on Thursday, I don't know if they'll have them or if they will be in Wednesday's papers.
