Dose anyone else find it ironic that Americans spend the most money on shopping for new thinks on the day after they have been giving thanks for what they already have? Happy Thanksgiving anyway folks.

Yeah, sure. That’s the only day of the year the retailers actually make money.

I have worked in the retail industry the past 10 years and to be honest with you it’s disgusting what the holiday season has become, it doesn’t just represent what is wrong with the holiday season it represents what our culture has become, just like professional sports it’s all about the almighty dollar, love for someone is no longer represented by care or emotions, but how much they spend on that person. So For all you gluttonous people who force workers to be at their jobs at 3am I hope you get stuck in traffic and that special item that you want so bad is sold out. Happy Holiday$

The reason Black Friday is called Black Friday is because it’s the day that retailers go into “the black” or profitability. It has nothing to do with retail workers’ emotions.

“Good” news – it’s no longer just Black Friday. For many retail places it’s now Black Thursday too. So now hundreds of thousands of us get to wolf down a meal, try to sneak in a nap, and then show up at work to be trampled by the millions more of us who camp out in the cold and dark to buy an even bigger tv screen. And that’s what “Thanksgiving” is supposed to be all about, right?

Even though no one listens to that show, I have to admit, at least it beats spending time with your family.
