When I won't be shopping
This is a USA-centric post. This Thursday is our Thanksgiving holiday.
I won't be buying anything on Black Friday. I don't find shopping fun, and I really don't want to participate in a blood sport.
And I sure as hell won't be buying anything on Thursday. I don't object to the idea of folks buying stuff on a holiday, but I very much object to retail employees being told they have to work on a national holiday.
(I will, however, be shopping on Small Business Saturday. At, you know, small businesses. I have so little cash to spend this year that I want to spend it in a way that fits my ethics.)
