A more than a few years back, after retirement I needed some extra income. I took a seasonal job at Target. Of course, I worked Black Friday. It was a big deal for the cashier's. I arrived at work at 4:30 am and could not believe the crowd of pajama clad folks waiting for the early opening. When they opened the doors I was aghast! I'd never seen anything like that before. It was the lowest level of human behavior I had ever witnessed. I will never forget it. Now I don't even go for coffee or a loaf of bread on Black Friday. I think it is deplorable that we have started selling Christmas at Halloween and that we do not even keep the day of Thanksgiving sacred. There's no need to start selling at 8pm for the almighty buck. Sorry for my spouting off and thanks for the soap box. Now I will step down!
