I got the evening shift (I work at Kohl's). The horrendous disaster I walked into defies description. No department, no shelf, nothing, was left intact. Merchandise was strewn as if a tornado had blown through. Customers were acting as if we were a flea market and were trying to bargain down prices! "Well, it's got a small chip, can't you take something off for that?" Uh, how about you find one without a chip....Kids were left by their parents to play with the toys as if we had daycare or they'd walk around with the stuff, then when done playing, dump it wherever. Quilt sets ripped apart and left on the floors. Wrapped merchandise unwrapped and strewn everywhere, boxes ripped open, looking like the stuff inside had exploded.
Meanwhile, next door, the manager of the Circuit City refused to open his doors at 5am as scheduled because people in the line were fighting.
All I can say is, thank the powers that be I'm a graphic artist-everyone on my list gets something I designed. One online order to a tshirt printer and, except for maybe 3 or 4 things I need from stores, I'm done!
Black Friday, my ass...HELL Friday is more like it. People are nuts....
