Black Friday? Hum Bug!
by Tim Wenger,posted Nov 20 2012 4:18PM
The turkey isn't even in the oven and the mad Black Friday shoppers already have their minds made up on which stores they will storm, possibly even Thanksgiving Day!
All week I've listened to our coverage of the Black Friday phenomenon and watched the coverage on tv as well. And all week, I've personally tried to convince these special breed of shoppers that it's simply not worth the madness they will face at the stores.
If you don't believe me, just watch this video shot inside a Wal Mart last year on Black Friday. While these folks are being trampled Friday, I won't even be on my first cup of coffee. I just don't get it.
