Presents for Turkeys

Presents for Turkeys

It’s was Black Friday followed by Cyber Deals Monday last week. Actually they need to call it Black Thursday Night because the stores this year were open on Thanksgiving evening! Yes! I now can eat my turkey and have my color plasma TV half off! Happy Thanksgiving, now get out of my way I have shopping to do!

I have been standing in line now for over two hours for this dang store to open and I have to go to the bathroom. I wonder if someone could save my spot, I’ll ask this lady next to me. Miss, could you save my spot for me while I go to the bathroom? “I will not she said, what do you think this is Occupy Target?”

The doors are opening! The doors are opening! Ouch! “Hey, get your knee out of my back, get off me!” “I think the shopping cart wheels are stuck on this thing, get out of my way!” “Oops there goes the security guard down for the count.” “Yes it will fit into the cart! Hey, I saw that new Blue Ray DVD Player first, give it back!” No she didn’t!” “Get off my foot you hoodlum!” “Hey, that Wetsy Betsy was for my son!” “Hu?” “That store clerk just over charged me! I want my discount! Yes, I did bring my store card, plus the coupon, Idiot.”  “Oh no! They are sold out! No way! I wonder if I could haggle someone for theirs. You tell me you’re going to sell it on EBay for double the price? What is this country coming to?  You Greedy Wall Streeter!”  “Merry Christmas, now pass the entitlement.”

 Well folks, somehow people found the money to shop this year in spite of the economic crises. They may be losing their jobs and homes but god forbid if they will give up their new color plasma TV’s or Blue ray DVD players. Ok, ok, I need to be honest here. I really did not stand in line for two hours.  I watched it all on the six o’clock news the next day and read the body language of the customers blowing through the stores. There is no way in Heck I would go out on a cold November night full of Turkey and stand in line with a bunch of people just to buy something. I can do it the easy way, online! What! They are sold out!  What?! No free shipping! Greedy online stores!
