This is what he said about the dawn of Black Friday:<BR/>He came home early from work--which is OK because he's working 7 days straight. He said there was no point in staying because it would be impossible to stock shelves. They spent from 3 am to 5 am guarding pallets of bargain TVs and computers--2 people per pallet. He said the crowds started to form at 12 am. At 4:55 am, people just started grabbing stuff off the pallets and no one could stop them. He said you could hear this 'thwup, thwup' sound as the boxes flew. Philip said the crowd around electronics by 3 am was impenetrable and the whole store was the same by 6 am, so the stockers were leaving. He was puzzled that after the pallets emptied, customers started piling empty shopping carts on the pallets. He saw one pallet stacked 5 high with empty carts. As for the bargains, he understood some of the stuff, but not fights over nightgowns with flashing lights on the front.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5440433049879093108.post-16462610377175227322008-11-29T18:18:00.000-06:002008-11-29T18:18:00.000-06:00Thank you.
