Question: I worked retail and feel like I did my time. Nothing is that on sale that I need to hit the stores Black Friday. Having worked it, I know how insane people are. There's just no need. Wondering if others feel this way

I've worked retail, and for me, it depends on what's on sle. iwent last year to get a razor for Dh that I saved like 80 bucks on at JCP. This year the sales arent as good for me, so I am staying in.
I agree 100%....but then again my kids are 3 and 1. Get back to me when they are older and there is a "MUST HAVE" toy on sale for a ridiculous price...lol!
I guess that's a good point. My kids are only 4 and 2. Nothing is yet that important.

I've never worked retail and I never go to them so I went with other

I've never worked retail but I did work waitressing at an Olive Garden the other year on it next to the mall. I will never work on another black friday ever I got stiffed on tips at like four tables while seven months pregos! I'm not saying tip your prego waitress extra or anything like that but c'mon seriously? Also soup salad & breadsticks with water c'mon again so I couldnt even upsale to get a better tip. I get it you've been out all morning shopping & spending money but then to come into a resturant & sit down & be served to then not tip your waitress or tip her $1-$2 go to mcdonalds or something! Sorry small vent. I do not shop black friday either :)
My mom likes to often remind me about the year she wrestled with the crowds for a Cabbage Patch doll, LOL!

I've worked retail, and am going.
The HP printer/scanner/copier is $25. That's a steal.
There are PJ sets and track sets for $3. Those are a steal.
There are adult hoodies for $7. Those are definitely a steal.
I'll be going. Crazies or no crazies. :)

I drink water regardless of what I order. Not all of us are being cheap when we order water. :)

My husband and I have both worked retail. He is getting up at 5 and going to wal mart to get the only things my kids are getting for Christmas. We cant afford much and with the price on stuff we didnt think we could get them anything. Were getting my daughter a 32 inch my size dall that she can share the dress up clothes with ($9 tomorrow morning only), a pair of PJs ($3), and a color wonder coloring book and my son a 1 2 3 light and sound ball (also $9 tomorrow morning), PJs, and hot wheels ($5 for a pack of like 6 or so). They will also be getting a dry erase table with chairs to share ($18 tomorrow morning only)
