I do not shop on Black Friday, and tend to avoid retail outlets like the plague on Black Weekend.
Yesterday (Saturday) I was over at crazynurse's with her daughters picking through her clothing, and have ended up with a lot of stuff.
Afterwards, gothychick and her husband announced that they were going to the Evil Empire and asked if I'd like to come along.
I was worried, but they sweetened the deal with a trip to Red Robin. I'd never been to one, and agreed. Red Robin is the promised land of Burgers, Fries, and an extraordinary dessert called the Mile High Mud Pie, which I think is illegal in some jurisdictions.
But anyway.
They decided to go to a Wal-Mart in a semi Rural community, thinking that it might be better than hitting the one in a more populated area.
It was around 8pm.
We got a pull-thru space THREE SPACES FROM THE DOOR.
The store was well-stocked.
There were no crazed crowds.
People were friendly and happy.
Unbelievable.
