OT: Black Friday(Posted from Dallas)
The annual ritual in which stores encourage mob behavior at the opening ought to immediately cease. It probably won’t, of course.
The evolution here is to open the doors to the stores/malls even earlier than the ridiculous 4AM start times of the last several years. Several Big Box stores and malls are now starting (or have started) at MIDNIGHT on Thanksgiving day.
FWIW, Our foray into the public today revealed a typical crowd at Frye's (me and the F-I-L) and reports of smaller than usual crowds at the North Dallas Malls visited by my wife, M-I-L and daughters.
