Black Friday (obs not IF related)

So I've been thinking about the big BF, I usually try to go to at least one store every year, but I don't go crazy with it all. 

1) Are you planning on doing BF this year?

2) I see a lot of stores are opening on TG this year, how do you feel about that?

3) Are there certain stores you MUST hit? Certain items you MUST buy? 

Don't we all love talking about food, shopping, and sometimes TTC?

1.) unfortunately I have to work on BF this year due to just starting a new job, but I'm thinking about going out super early like 5am then going into work afterwards. Is that crazy??
2.) I don't like it if employees who would rather be spending time with their families are having to work, but realistically there are a lot of people that don't do anything with family on Thanksgiving and would rather work to make the money. Plus most of the stores don't open until later in the evening.
3.) My mom and I usually hit up Kohls. It's usually very well organized and fairly pleasant for BF. We always find good deals there!

My sister and I made it a tradition to go... Usually we end up spending too much money on ourselves.  but it is fun. 

I don't think they should open so early, but I talked to a girl at Target yesterday and she was excited because of the pay.  I personally think everything should be closed except movie theaters. LOL 

We usually go to one of the outlet malls here, balls cold, because it is all outside unless you are in a store, and tons of fucking people.  But we do it just for fun.  If we get lucky with purchases even better.

I have worked every Black Friday for the last 10 years, except last year when I was almost 9 months pregnant. I LOVE working it. I work retail, it's what we do lol. I know a lot of people are upset because people have to work that day, but if you choose to work retail you have to make those sacrifices. Honestly tho, our families adjust and have dinners earlier or later depending on the shift or even have it the weekend after if that works for everyone. Ugh sorry I kinda vented, but I am seeing a lot of crappy comments (not here) that are driving me crazy. Ps if I wasn't working I would totally shop lol.

1) Are you planning on doing BF this year? My sister and I have made it a tradition. Target is always our first stop and we usually stand in line, outside in MN, for about 2 hours. 2) I see a lot of stores are opening on TG this year, how do you feel about that? I don't have strong feelings either way, but I liked it better when it was like a 10pm opening. 3) Are there certain stores you MUST hit? Certain items you MUST buy? Target, and it depends.
