Black Friday

Every year you see the same report on the TV, “Person trampled in (enter store here).” Frankly, I don’t see the point in going to the stores on Black Friday. Don’t get me wrong, there are great deals on basically anything out there, but I can’t justify going to the store just to become part of the mass frenzy that occurs there. The amount of security at the stores just isn’t enough to handle the influx of people and it quickly becomes out of hand.

Not only is it not a friendly environment, but it also takes forever to just get done shopping in one store unless you are one of the first people to the registers. A clear alternative to shopping in the stores would be to shop online. Shopping online gives you better deals, a peaceful environment, and no waiting in lines. There is literally no downside to doing all of your Black Friday shopping online. I believe the only reason that people go to stores on Black Friday is to be a part of the mob mentality. If people would stop being dumb when they are in a giant group then going to the stores wouldn’t be a bad experience.
