Well, it was a pretty funny day. I arrived at work with the parking lot packed. There were lines at both the E and W entrance. Surprisingly there wasn't anyone lined up at the middle entrance. The lines were pretty dang long. Surprisingly I got probably the best spot. Stuck in the corner on the E side, which is the slow side. I had about 15 shopping carts next to me and when the door opened it was a mad rush of people swarming in. The carts were gone in about 30 seconds.
Surprisingly people were very friendly. I didn't have to deal with any up tight, grumpy people which was nice. It slowed down at about 8:30 on our side, although we looked down to the main registers and there were still lines to the back of the store. None of us on the E side were going to tell anyone that we were open, so they got to wait. I only had about 3.5 hours of sleep and surprisingly I was awake after the mad rush. I even got to go home early, but then again I'm always the first one to go home since my foot injury. Guess they don't like having someone who starts to limp and move slower after standing on his feet for 5 hours :lol: Must not look good.
I still think Black Friday is stupid. There are better ways to make money then that. But then again the deals are good for the costumers so I know why they are there. I don't quite understand why people are buying DVD players from Menards, but I guess if they are only $25 you'll buy stupid things.
Funniest thing though is that it was busy enough that each cashier had a bagger, so things went pretty quickly. But as we were scanning things me and the bagger were asking each other since when did we stock a certain item. Out of all the things that I checked out, I bet only about 20% of it we normally stock.
