I work in a wal-mart, and everyone that is on the payroll MUST work on BF no matter what.
One year, an associate was in an auto accident, and could not make it to work. That person was fired the next day.
So pretty much it comes down to everyone is insane on that day for no reason at all. I have to work that day...at 5 in the morning...when everything goes on sale.
I've requested a flak jacket.

Lawl-Mart has gotten pretty shitty with their policies now. No one can EVER have a full weekend off. You either work Saturday or you work Sunday. They put in a few months back that dress code for EVERYONE. Ugh. I hope to god I never work there again.
As to Black Friday, it's just too crazy. One year my dad actually thought he was going to do some Christmas shopping on BF. I laughed. To get shit done you have to beat the soccer moms and all those deal grabbers who are waiting in their cars at like 4 am in the parking lot, waiting for employees to come outside and unlock the doors. Then you have to run and HOPE you can get something popular before everyone else (and then if it's something huge like a Wii, expect offers for it all throughout your shopping, while keeping an eye on your buggy.)
I don't know why people go so apeshit on BF (other than the obvious, gotta have it now/last minute shopping crap). I salute all you in retail. I don't want to deal with that ever again. :|
Jam it back in, in the dark.
