Whats Your Worst Black Friday Experience?

[brunoafh]

I've never shopped on Black Friday, and probably never will. Not a fan of over spending, crowds, waiting in lines, traffic, wasting time, being trampled to death, etc.

We went out about 6, nobody around really. Like a slow Tuesday. Hit about half dozen stores, wasted 19.99 on Payday 2 and went home with what we came for.

By the way, PAYDAY 2 SUCKS BALLS!!! How do people play that trash?

The game is great with some friends. The more the better and it's insane when it gets crazy. If you are playing single player yeah then the game is terrible and pointless.

Shopping on Black Friday, as well as shopping at Wal-Mart in general, is guaranteed to be a miserable experience.

I must live in a nicer area than some of you. This year was probably one of the nicest Black Friday experiences I've ever had. There was no clawing or crushed toes, people closest to the stuff were handing back specific items to strangers behind them, people didn't descend upon the pallets of items like ravenous animals when the plastic was removed and everyone who bummed into me apologized. We were in and out of Wal-Mart in less than an hour and the only thing I didn't get was a movie that I'm almost certain they didn't have to begin with.

I certainly don't live in the ghetto. This took place in a upper middle class neighborhood.

My worst black friday experience was when I had a hang nail while getting hella good deals online.

Having worked in retail for 10 years now I just smirked at this thread. Entitled customers just make me laugh.

If you wanted the cheap shit then you should have gotten here earlier. So you had to wait in line? It's the busiest shopping day of the year! Managers are allowed to run their individual stores, and controlling traffic keeps customers safe and sales strong.

Also, NO I will NOT give you a f'n rain check. It's a door buster for a reason.

It seems that you skimmed over my post. I do not mind waiting in line. All I'm pissed off about was that the employees themselves didn't know what the hell was going on. Use whatever method you think suits your store best but make it work. Who asks for a rain check on Black Friday?

Work one Black Friday in retail and then get back to us.

Heck, even the day before and after Christmas will do. They're nearly as bonkers sometimes.
