[quote name='y2jasper']so the last 4 years i worked at circuit city, and this is the first time i will be home on that day (in case you didn't hear, the company went bankrupt
![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
). the first year i worked 12pm to 12am, which was long...but the next 3 years i worked 3am to 12am, and i always decided to not sleep the night before because it would only be 2-3 hours anyway. even though i'd usually get annoyed and tired and wish the day would just end....this year i'm kind of sad that i won't be working. i have to ask is this normal? am i having some sort of retail bf withdrawal symptom?[/QUOTE]
You're about the only one, I'd imagine. I worked at a calendar place at the nearby mall maybe 4 years ago on Black Friday and I'd never seen so many idiots in my lifetime.
Well, that is unless you count the times I went with friends/family to stand in intolerably long lines on the morning of Black Friday to wait for the 'bargains'.
![Rolling eyes :roll: :roll:](/styles/default/cag/smilies/rollingeyes33.gif)
Most of said bargains had already walked out the door with the first 5-10 customers in the line(since these stores didn't institute a 1 per customer limit on doorbusters), so by that point I should've just gone home and got warm and watched the frenzy on tv later that day.
But I was stupid and stuck around hoping to get some leftover scraps of crap.
So no, I don't miss working on BF or being one of the drones out there bright and early in the cold on BF waiting for stores to open.
