For 10 yrs, I loved black Friday, because I was a cashier, and tried my best to keep each person happy and out as fast as I could. I never shopped on that day. The key to being fast is to know all the right prices, that meant coming in a few minutes early and read the add, and also keep one near me. Years later a friend wanted to take me for this big day and I went!!! It was still dark when we left & icy roads, so we didn`t think there would be too many shoppers, wrong!!! I didn`t buy much and was never so glad to see home again.
