Appartently....
Stores are going to be open early on Friday so that people can shop before they go to work...

What a marvelous idea...

I hear JC Penny is going to open the doors at 5:00 AM...

What genius...

Now those of us who have to work for a living can beat the holiday rush and shop early...

Thank you JC Penny for being user friendly...

4. But that's the genius of the plan...
No one will ever get up that early to go shopping except those who can stop in on their way to work...

3. Some stores are opening at midnight...
I plan to be in bed both those times......

In fact, I plan to do the vast majority of my shopping via catalog!

5:00 AM? :scared:

6. It's not for people who have to work, it's for people who think shopping is a full contact sport.
I have to be at work at five to deal with this crap, I'm getting paid to be there and I'd still much rather sleep in. But a small hoarde of consumerists addicted to cheap plastic crap will be lined up outside my store before I even drag my tired ass out of bed, not because they have to be there, but because they are willing to line up in a suburban parking lot hours before sunup just to save a couple of bucks on stuff they never needed anyhow.
