A Walmart associate told me the Gamecube is going to be $79.99 the day after Thanksgiving. I thought it was cheap at $99.99, but I guess those PS2 price drop rumors are maybe true.

Yeah, Black friday.

Have you ever been to a Walmart on Black Friday?

To say its a fucking nuthouse would be a massive understatement.

Plus I think they are only doing it for a couple hours.

I wouldn't dare go to Walmart on black friday. There is one right by my house, in the same shopping center is a Best Buy, Toys r US, and a Target. One huge disaster.

I can only imagine what those Super Wal-Marts will look like.

Something like a prison break might suffice.

yeah working retail is probably the worst job known to man... well, next to working fast food. all the b.s. you gotta put up with with the customers + minimum wage.. it's like hell on earth!
although if you're working commision you can make alot of money! when i used to sell computers at Sears around x-mas time i'd average about $1,500 - $2,000/week.. :buttrock: you just gotta cross your fingers and hope to god no returns come after the holidays are over. :crying:
anyway, yeah... going shopping on Black Friday is like suicide! hell it's already been really bad here for awhile now. like last week i decided to go get some groceries at like 6pm on a tuesday and the grocery store is just 2 blocks away from here.. it took me like 10min to get there and almost double the time to get back! sweet mother of god why !!!!

Oh no, day after Christmas is even worse. People returning shit like mad. I almost want to think that's worse than the initial holiday shopping.

Know what I really hate about working retail???

Let's put it like this....

I will NEVER AGAIN in my life work 9 hours a day in a place where you're forced to listen uber corny ass music playing on the PA system. '

Already I'm bout to lose my mind cuz they're overplaying Sleigh Ride in 10 different ways and it ain't even Thanxgiving yet :very_ang:


I might as well take advantage of my gaming hobby and make something out of it.

:eek:
What Nazi planned that shopping center?!?:eek: :eek: :loco:


my g/f used to work at saturday matinee in the christiana mall in delaware (one of the top 5 grossing malls in the us, many stores are #1 grossing in the whole nation). the amount stolen on black friday would rival the amount purchased, people packed into the entire mall like sardines, state police attempting to direct traffic, cats and dogs living together, MASS HYSTERIA!!!!!!!

The Friday after Thanksgiving when people initially start their Christmas shopping.

The name comes from the catch phrase "In the Black" which means being rich.

oh god. I know. Try taking all kinds of game returns from stupid kids who put the game on their list (I remember the mom coming in with it), and then wanting to return it after they've played it. In addition to not having a receipt.
Or the stupid mothers who bought a game for their kid..who, by the way, doesn't even have that system.
