Dear dumbasses in the mall,

A quick quiz for you all.

You officially lose the right to bitch about the crowds and lines on Black Friday when you:

A.) Block the escalators so that people in a hurry can't get past you.
B.) Stand in doorways while you complain.
C.) Bitch about the entire situation while standing in a busy section of the mall waving your arms around like an imbecile.
D.) Stand in front of every restaurant in the food court staring up at the menus saying, "Now what should I order ..." while people try to pass you.
E.) Give me a look when I say, "Excuse me," as if you were from a foreign land and have misinterpreted my words to mean, "I am about to drop a cow pie down your shorts."
F.) Stand in the middle of the sidewalks outside the mall in a big crowd to yammer about how surprisingly cold it is for the end of November on the friggin' east coast.
G.) All of the above, and then some.

No love,

Me

I'd add "You don't have any right whatsoever to complain about anything that occurs in a mall/shopping establishment on Black Friday, unless you are forced to be at work, or at home with a blanket over your head."

Oy...

I'm going to be leaving in a few minutes to work 2-10:30 at my mall job...

I was optimistic that maybe it wouldn't be as bad as people were telling me...

Seconded. (God, I wouldn't even be near a mall today if I didn't have to work and the only place to get food around here was Pentagon City. Gyah.)

Well, I don't know about your mall, but the one at the metro stop near my work is pretty nasty.

Hm. Maybe I'll stay home after all!

Here's something to make you feel better: Barack Obama on Letterman tonight.

There wasn't hardly anyone shopping in Target or TJ Maxx today - Target had plenty of Buffy S7 DVDs for $18. Yes, I bought a set for myself for Yule. I figure the three episodes I want to see again and the bonus features are worth $18.

May I add, "Park your cart across an entire aisle so that you can stand directly in front of the end cap" (I was trapped for about five minutes today when people did this on either end of an aisle) and "Hip-check small women with your burly, six-foot-plus, unwilling-to-turn-sideways-to-avoid-collision-in-a-small-space self"?

Yes, this morning's outing was extremely unadvised.

H.) Let your demon-spawn children run amok, knocking down displays, pulling down clothes from the racks, and body-slamming into other customers. Also, you lose to privelege to act offended and angrily huffy in the case that someone tells your kids to not do whatever massively destructive behaviour they're engaged in.

My parents went out shopping on Black Friday.

Granted, it was for product they could make a profit on but still.

Glad I had a migraine as an excuse not to go

People in my state are more subtle. They park their cart -across- from another cart. Since store aisles in here are tiny AS F! this blocks the row.

The nice thing about kids it that their heads are at smacking level

Pentagon City? Hey, you live sorta closeby.

And you're very funny. Since you say so in your user info, I'll add you to my reading list, assuming you won't mind. Feel free to add back should you wish.
