Okay, seriously people.
While driving today, I heard an ad where they were PROMOTING the idea of making Black Friday, Black Friday, Saturday and Sunday. But, that was one of the sane ones. Another was starting their doorbusters at Midnight, as in 12 o’clock AM.
Look, I may be a bit of a stickler when it comes to the day and the clock, but midnight on Thanksgiving is still freaking Thanksgiving, NOT Black Friday. But, Kroger takes the cake on this one by actually starting ON Thanksgiving. No, not a nebulous almost-Friday time just beating out the midnight one, their doorbusters are at 6 AM on Thanksgiving itself.
Wow. Seriously, people. Do not, I repeat DO NOT go shopping on Thanksgiving itself. If you seriously have to do these crazy deals, at least wait until Friday, which starts at least at 2 in the morning.
I don’t understand how anyone has Thanksgiving dinner and then wakes up the next day, let alone 7 hours later. This stuff is just ludicrous. Okay, soapboxing over. Hope your holidays are jolly!
