    Default Stores to close for Black Friday

    For many years Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving where people go out and get great deals from big box stores. However these past few years this has resulted in stampedes of people trying to save a few dollars resulting in property damage, fights, & trampling leading to both customer and employee injuries AND casualties.

    However this year some stores (and malls even) are electing not to open on Black Friday probably for the safety of their employees and customers.

    https://www.theblackfriday.com/store...giving-day.php

    Some of the most notable stores are Costco, Lowes, Home Depot, Publix, Ikea, Joann, Petco, Sam's Club & Mall of America.

    Personally as long as there's a Cyber Monday deal around I'm ok with stores closing. There's no reason to be feeding into the crazy mass hysteria over saving a few dollars that leads to deaths.

    I think its kind of a good idea. Im worried though if that would mean even BIGGER crowds showing up at the opened shops. Like bottlenecking the people who would be out looking for deals anyways.

    I always found this whole thing really confusing... It's like you have a day to be grateful for everything you have, then the very next day everyone rushes out to get more crap?! It's the same thing here on boxing day (though not as extreme). But like, you spend all of Christmas giving and getting presents, and then you immediately need to go out on Boxing day and buy even more? I don't really get it...

    From after Thanksgiving until after Christmas, I stay away from the stores, especially the malls. It is just too dangerous with all those psychos shopping.

    My family has never really gone out on Black Friday. Okay I think I lied, maybe ONCE. And even then, it wasn't as hectic. Probably because we went towards the end of the day.

    I mean hey, as long as there's Cyber Monday (hopefully Steam will have another sale), then I'm totally okay.

    I try to buy American whenever possible. Usually that is only possible on-line. I do a websearch for "American made mens shirts," for example. I get the names of companies. I send them an e-mail asking if their goods are sold by any of my local retailers. If so, I go to those retailers first, to keep money and jobs in the community. If not, I buy on-line. I get some pretty high quality stuff. There are things made in the USA. You just have to look.

    'Tis why I try to get my shopping done before Thanksgiving or shop online afterwards. I don't really want anyone being forced to work the day off or day after Thanksgiving, myself.

    I understand them closing for everyone's safety but I gotta admit, it's fun people watching. At my Walmart last year the police had to be called because of folks fighting over bath towels. Stupid, yes but really funny! Lol

    Huh. I work for Lowe's, and we're being told we still come in on Black Friday.

    Part of me hopes this is true, simply because I've been buried in appliances for our Black Friday buildup. But hey, I will definitely take a Black Friday off to go hiking with my REI buddies.
    No power in the 'verse can stop me...

    ...if I may point something out, the link in the first post is a list of stores closed on Thanksgiving Day, not Black Friday. (I think the only reason I even noticed that was because a store on that list gave me a coupon when I was there yesterday that was supposed to be used in-store on Black Friday)

    But I will agree that Black Friday is rather dangerous for both shoppers and workers. It's probably a smarter idea if some of those stores did close on that day. I think that's why my mom doesn't like shopping on Black Friday... At least, not until the afternoon.

    Okay, but Black Friday no longer even happens on Friday, it now happens on Thanksgiving. I have no problem with Black Friday, but Thanksgiving needs to be left alone. I want to see the stores that do Black "Friday" on Thanskgiving retract from doing so.

    I work black thanksgiving and tbh I'm fine with it. Easy overtime, smoothest night of the year, and 25% discount off of an entire purchase just for working.
