Rules for Black Friday.

If you're going to be one of the people who go out and wait at a store at midnight to get one of the 5 TV's a store has,here are some things to remember. 1-Act like you've been out in public before.Running through the store and fighting with someone for something is just plain immature. 2-Unless you were born yesterday(and some people act like they were)you know what Black Friday is.It's a way for stores to get you in and buy other things.Not just the advertised specials. 3-Don't get mad when the store runs out of the product you wanted.The ads say it's "while quantities last" or "limited supply" for a reason. 4-Don't ask for a rain check.They aren't getting any more of them. 5-If you think the store should have enough of the product you want for everyone(I saw an article on cnn.money saying that)the stores would all go broke.Use some common sense. 6-Don't get mad at the salespeople.They have no control over any of this.In fact,they should probably get paid double just for having to deal with the idiots that day. 7-If a news crew shows up,hide your face.If you're proud to be out waiting for 10 hours for something you really don't need,you shouldn't be.People watching the newscast are laughing at you.

Terrific! I'm not in the US and we don't have Black Friday in the UK but some of our sales can be pretty insane too. I was shocked but not surprised when those deaths occured and Voldemart last year and people complained when they tried to close the store! Really, if a cheap TV is more imporant than someone's life we need to trim the herd.
