My experience working in retail

Hehehe! Good one hysperion. I like when people bitch about cliffs then the OP puts "cliff notes" and then proceeds to put the entire contents back under it. What is wrong with people today they can't read a few paragraphs? *sigh*

You work for American TV and Appliance.

What a crap company.

My favorite that they do:

Advertise "No interest until 2007" on a page, and then over half of the stuff on the page that they show does not qualify

Sorry, buying sh!tty products is different from being cheap IMO.

I like your whole post, but I want to clarify my motive for Black Friday shopping: I do it for fun. I only discovered Black Friday shopping two years ago, and I just thoroughly enjoy the experience. So if I wait outside with a bunch of other customers and then hustle through the store looking for the bargains, etc. it's not because I'm dumb. I'm enjoying it. If I wasn't, I wouldn't do it. Sure it's too much work to justify monetarily, but I'm not trying to.

Hey that's entirely understandable....just like I mentioned before...when it's something I enjoy...like getting a new video game that just came out, I do it too....it's the people doing it to save $10 that need help....

Yes, I wasn't going to say it but now that you have- I do work for American Tv and Appliance (at least for a few more days, I got a job at a furniture store as I mentioned before)....last year on the Black Friday sale they put in the ad "xxx available" when they were referring to all the stores- each store had like 10 instead of 100+ like the ad said...the stores logic was the ad listed every store on the back....

They are really sh1tty to their employees too. Every cheap computer we sell comes with a proview ps720 monitor. We are paid on profit and according to American they pay $180 for it....(laff)....newegg used to sell it for $92......also they put everything in a sh1t package.....

FYI our door busters are an hp tower only with a axp 3200+, 512mb, 160gb, dvd+rw model a620n for $399 after MIR.......a compaq celeron pos laptop with an 20gb hp hpod for $799 ar and some cheapo cameras.....
