You do need to watch your language and try to be polite. But honestly, Black Friday is such a waste of time and effort. I don't know about others, but we've had bad experiences in the past and refuse to do it anymore. Rude people, stores advertising when they only have 2-3 items in stock, substituting lower-end merchandise for the ad item, etc. OK, so you save a few bucks on cheap Chinese crap - big whoop. Keep your dignity and stay home.

One year, Target was supposed to get a shipment of Wiis in at 11:00 (back a few years when nobody could get their hands on them). We waited from 5 a.m. and not long after the store opened, it started raining. Rather than letting us wait inside, they made us all stand out in the rain because they didn't want us blocking the aisles for their customers - as if we weren't customers but merely an annoyance! Then, to top it off, they never came in!

How can these stores justify alienating customers like this? I rarely shop at Target anymore, and I doubt you will be shopping at "any" Walmarts, either.
