I know I'm not the only one who has noticed this annual trend. It's quite sad the way society works now and days. We all gather with friends, family, and our loved ones on the last Thursday of November and play the "I'm thankful" game and eat a shitload of food and waste a day just to get ready to eat that food and gossip about family members we dislike or hate their spouses, etc. Regardless, we get together get fat, and get cheery and pretend to be thankful for things.
Then at some point between 9 pm and 3 am our big hearts turn black and people become so nasty, greedy, rude, and selfish beings as we storm shopping malls and department stores around the country, compete in little games of combat parking, and in some cases, get into brawls over the year's "hot christmas item". No matter what it is, some 30-50 year old women will eventually claw, scratch, bite, and pull hair over it. Whether it be the newest barbie, tickle me elmo, Xbox, or Ipod...we turn into a pack of lions on a gimp zebra.
I don't understand it...well I do actually...but I don't understand why we act so much on trends, annual days, and crap. You KNOW the malls are going to be packed and miserable on the Friday after Thanksgiving, so why fucking flock out on that 1 day? You're just going to gripe and moan about it later. Why not spread your shopping out in the early weeks of November and December? Why torture yourself? That's retarded.
Also, if you decide to do this...WHY THE HELL MUST YOU BRING YOUR BASTARD CHILDREN ALONG. You don't fucking watch them and all they do is trash my store and every other one they enter and cause a hard time for every employee. If you insist on breeding ignorant, undisciplined pieces of trash, at least LEAVE THEM AT HOME on this darkest of unholy days. I'm sick of watching your kids. I'm not paid enough to do my job AND your's. So either write to Congress to have Minimum wage upped to 6.50-6.75, write to PacSun to up the employee wages instead of being cheapass bastards with their billions of yearly revenue, or pay me an extra 5 bucks an hour anytime your broken condom child comes in my store.
That is all.
Summary:
-Much of society are stupid, two-faced, trend driven, and ignorant trash.
-Black Friday is a retarded idea and whoever thought up of the sales for this day should be shot square in the face and then lit on fire.
-Parents fucking suck at raising decent children now and days. Learn to raise, discipline, and supervise your kids because they're all ignorant, mindless, hoodlums.
-I'm horribly overworked and underpaid.
