Black Friday death toll (3 so far)

**WTFchris** · 11-30-2008 12:42 PM

We went to Radio Shack and nabbed a nice GPS unit for $100 bucks off. There wasn't a customer in the store. No lines at all.

I hate shopping that day, but I'll cherry pick deals every few years if there is something I really want. I didn't see any better deals on TVs than the one I got around the super bowl.

People think they are getting such good deals on some things that day when they are buying some 37 inch LCD with a terrible picture and motion blur or something.

Agreed. There are some good Black Friday deals online, though, those are definitely at least worth checking out. Picked up a 28 inch monitor for my studio with HDMI capability for a cool 300 on newegg.

The death toll was almost 4.

I actually worked a lil bit and had to go to Home Depot and I kick myself for not heel stomping this one friendly piece of humanity. This lady was a real work of art. She went ripping down the aisle with molding sticking out all ends of her cart. She purposely whacked peeps with her cart and said "Sorry" and then go up and do it to the next person. Then it was a "excuse me" without slowing down and then "Sorry" after she hit him. She never stopped or slowed down once.

It happened at least 5 times. It was incredible.

If I understand things right, it costs $10 for each return you want to PRINT beyond the first, as a way of pushing you to electronically file. Ugh.

Fixed.
