Black Friday is traditionally the day I stay away from stores. The only ones I’ve ever been to were the ones I was scheduled to work. I was also thankful to be on a register and not on the floor so I missed the fights but witnessed the aftermath in the form of bloody noses, black eyes, scratches on faces, necks and arms, torn clothing, etc. I even had to try to comfort kids who had managed to get a much desired toy only to have some heartless adult – and a stranger at that – rip it from their hands. Black Friday – No Thank You!
