My hubby works at a bookstore and was working on Black Friday. When he called during his lunchbreak, I told him to be grateful for no one in the store being trampled to death.
Giftmas season is pretty crucial for retailers, especially small local chains like the one my hubby works for. But they're sane, only open an hour earlier on Black Friday and hope for a steady amount of gift buying over the month between Thanksgiving and Christmas, rather than an orgy of insanity on one day.
