Cashiers standing at the checkouts without anyone there. Used to be long lines and this year the aisles were not even crowded. Couple other stores, the same thing. One store had an area roped off to organize the crowd waiting for the checkouts and there was nobody there, they just walked up to the checkout. They went to four stores and saw the same thing at all the stores.

I did and if i had known it was black friday I would have stayed home. Went to cabelas and it was a 2 hr wait after you took a number.

I worked the last 24 years of Black Fridays so this is my first year playing at all

only went to Fleet and the grocery store

fleet had blazer brass 115gr for 10.99 a box of 50 no limit they were smart and just left the cases on a cart in the isle

also had peak anti freeze for 7 dollars a gallon with a 7 dollar mail in rebate

the line was long but went fairly fast it snaked through the store but about 100-150 yards long a little longer when we first got there

we were apparently the odd people with a case of 9mm and a gallon of free after rebate antifreeze which I would have bought at 7 dollars as well as I just used up the last of what I had a few weeks ago.

most people had a cart full.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

There us nothing I want that's such a good deal it would be worth it to me. But Thursday and Friday are double time and a half and I always seem to end up working all hollidays 12 hrs and 16 hrs if I can get it so couldn't go shopping even if I wanted to.

Green County rual king had thar ammo for 11.99 a get weeks back. I only bought 2 boxes. Probably should have bought it all but I don't even own a 9mm.

Did some shopping after my surgery scheduling appointment Wednesday afternoon. I had enough just picking up some Thanksgiving groceries with rude and pushy people. No amount of savings is worth dealing with inconsiderate humans? in the stores today!
