the exciting adventure in retail after thanksgiving Do you know what they call the Friday after Thanksgiving?
Black Friday.
They call it that because it usualy puts busnesses back in the black in fainacial terms.
I think they call it that because it sounds like death.
AND I didn't even have to work on Black Friday.
I worked on Saturday and it still sucked.
Lets begin with Saturday morning. I was driving down Southlake Blvd. on the way to 35. AND This cop is blocking the street and detouring everyone. OH BOY I don't know where I'm going. That was fun. Also, it was raining all through Ft. Worth. I hat driving in the rain. SO I drive and drive and drive some more. I get back in SanMar at 3, unload the car and hit the road again to go to work.
They had closed off the exit to the mall. CLOSED IT. The way they had set up the trafic was ridiculous and it took 10 minutes just to get into the mall. Oh it was insane. The store was busy all day and then when It's time to close these people walk in and leasurly look around (I HATE when people do that D:)And then 30 minutes after close this guy tries to get us to open the store back up for him, flashing a wad of cash as a bargining chip.
No dice buddy, no dice.

NOW, my question is WHY? Why there is nothing that amazing that makes it worth all that pain to brave the crowds. The prices arn't that great. Att our store they down right suck. The sale a week ago was better then it is now. :|
Outlet mall prices arn't worth a 4 hour drive from anywhere.  ¶ 6:52 PM
