Black Friday Boycott

from Elemental Forums

Out of respect for the families of retail employees that have been killed by hordes of crazy; insensitive shoppers my personal 48 hour boycott on shopping begins now. As I've done for previous Black Fridays.

If you wish to join me add your name to the list below. Some day I hope the day that was once a time to spend with our families to give thanks for the things that we can so easily take for granted, returns to it's original purpose instead the horrific day of greed that it has turned into. If you do go shopping, order food, or stop to buy gas please remember to thank the person that is providing the service.

I boycotted the go out on Thanksgiving (the food I make is too tasty to go out, and the time with family is far more fun than shopping. Plus if you drink homemade meed why go out). The black Friday non-sense I went out like I normally do on any Friday for shopping. The deals are nice, but not the reason I go out shopping Friday. I also say thank you and chat with all the workers at any of these retail stores whenever I go out, as it is the appropriate thing to do. In general, be respectful all around and the world will be a better place.
