I was alarmed to discover someone died in the Black Friday rush. In Valley Stream, NY, a 34 year old Walmart employee had a heart attack and died after the crowd ran him over at 5AM this morning. A pregnant woman was also caught in the mob activity. Folks, I've already encouraged you to do your shopping online or before Black Friday. Let's consider the detriments of Black Friday:
- you could get killed in the hustle and bustle at the stores;
- you could get killed in the hustle and bustle at the stores;
- if you make it through the stores, you could get in a car accident;
- more sales will come as the stores realize the economy sucks and nobody can afford to buy anyway;
- often Black Friday sales make you spend more rather than less as you get caught up in all the hype; and
- frankly, I'm a professional shopper and won't waste time with hostile amateurs with no manner who are literally willing to kill for a cheap piece of crap so they can save 50 cents.
Why not bask in the afterglow of eating too much on Thanksgiving and shop online? My last entry gives you all the coupons and links you need to save money. Anyway, I've done my part to protect your person and wallet from Black Friday - now it's up to you!
