Happy belated Buy Nothing Day
11.25.06 (11:16 am)   [edit]
I f'ed up. I had to buy gas to get back home and to work on Buy Nothing day. I should have done it the day before. I feel bad.

But I would like to say kudos to most of our Los Gatos Nob Hill shoppers; the day after Thanksgiving was very very dead even for an average day. I know it is because our awesome customers were protesting against the onset of mass consumerism. I applaud you, Nob Hill shoppers!

I have been mulling over "Black Friday" and how completely stupid it is for various reasons. The biggest one of them being the whole "We open at the butt-crack of dawn for extra super-duper savings between 6am-12pm only!" thing. Why are there no ads that say, "Savings between 4pm-10pm only!"?
It just occured to me! Clouded judgement! If you are up early enough and tired enough, especially after a big eating holiday when you should be resting anyway, you will be more rash and less logical in your spending decisions.
It's the same logic of giving free alcohol at casinoes.

Current Mood:none, really

i would personally like to have a 4pm-10pm sale, and i think they should do it for the same reasons they do the early one: get em while they're tired and cranky while their commuting home from work instead of the morning before work. it would work on me, esp on saturdays when i get off a 12 hour shift with those teenagers.
