As time goes on, Black Friday shopping become more intense and competitive. I find this yearly tradition to be going slightly over board. As of the last few years, Black Friday has started to bleed into Thursday–Thanksgiving day. I think this is inconsiderate not only to retail employees, but to yourself as well. One has to consider that when they make the choice to go shopping on thursday, they are not only taking the holiday away from themselves, but they are also taking the time of others who are forced to work. I personally feel that the holidays is a time to created bonds with family, not to get 45% off of a sweater you will wear twice, then hide it in the closet.
