Black Thursday Rant

Just saw a walmart ad that made me hate retailers more. The scene is at home thanksgiving day. Everyone is relaxing after the big feast. (Cue the music) It's James Brown - Get up off-a that thing! In other words "get up off-a that azz and get down to wally-world on Thanksgiving Day". They even interrupt grandpa from his chill time on the front porch. (Grandpa's a dummy for going along with the charade.) I feel sorry for the retail workers. I feel sorry for anyone who has grown up in the era of Black Friday Blowout sales with brawls and humans trampled.

We just skip the whole shopping thing and put up the decorations on Friday. Even trying to run a short errand that whole weekend is miserable due to traffic. In the end it just pushes more sales online for people who don't want to put up with the aggravation.
I don't think anything should be open on holidays. The way it used to be.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

But will be leaving the workers a 40% tip.
