I want to go to Walmart on Black Friday (1 Viewer)

No, no, no, not for the super sweet deals, but for the shtick.

I want to dress head to toe in Under Armour spandex, wrap a flag football belt around my waste, and paint my face with eye black... Not just under the eyes, but more of a Chris Hovan eye black look. I want to just run through there like a mad man filling a cart with useless garbage marked down significantly, while screaming my face off.

Has anyone actually been to Walmart on Black Friday? What would it take to get you there on Black Friday?

Hercules Blu-Ray for only $6.99? Count me in.

 
Been there - done that - for real - well kind of - saw the lines and left. This was several years ago when the kids were younger and we had a new home and needed stuff so Black Friday was a good deal for us. Hit like 7 stores before 11 am and did pretty well. Haven't bothered to go out into that madness since.

 
It's bad enough you've got to stand in the cold for so many hours just to deal with that many people in close quarters... but the cherry on top is they're the dregs of society. The Jorts-wearing, mouth breathing, film that clings to the wall of the skimmer in the gene pool.

If they were giving away FREE 42" LED TV's I wouldn't put myself through that fiasco.

Good luck with that.

 
I went to an outlet mall for BF two years ago. The parking lot (of an outlet mall... so huge parking lot) was full, so they had people park ~2 miles away at some church and then take a shuttle bus to the mall. I was so awestruck that it wasn't until I was on the bus packed to the brim with ~80 other losers heading to the mall that it occurred to me that I should have just turned around and left. Terrible experience... but the deals were kind of worth it. Would (will) do it again.

For shtick... seems kind of dumb.

 
no you don't dude. I went one thursday night at midnight just to see what the big deal was. not worth it. there's no parking spots available. people were parking at banks and restaurants a quarter mile away. elbow to elbow in the store. It's idiotic.

Stay at home with your family.

Even for the shtick I can't give up Thanksgiving for Walmart... I'm hoping for some leftover chaos at 6am on Friday.

You have a good hour between end of 4 o'clock game and 8 o'clock game. Just do a quick swing through.

Don't forget your gopro attached to your head.

I usually swing by Walmart around here on black Friday around noon and it is all over at that point and I can shop like a normal person.

LOL! I'd love to do this!

I've been to Wal-Mart black fridays before. I've never had a bad experience. Nothing anywhere near what you see on youtube or the news channels. Usually been really well organized. And ironically, the shoppers have been pretty friendly to each other.

I'm sure if I ever had a bad experience, I'd never go again. It's easier to purchase online.

 
Do it every year. It's a blast. Group of us will hit Walmart, Target, Best Buy etc. Now that it's on Thursday it is even better. We'll hit Walmart early, maybe swing by the mall for Best Buy, etc.. Then the guys find a bar and drink until the wives are done shopping. Followed by a drunken late night trip to Denny's or something.

Don't really care about the deals so much, but Walmart on Black Friday is something else. People go ape #### over the weirdest stuff! I've seen people fighting over $5 sandwich makers. I watched a woman run through the store, grab 2 razor scooters and literally SIT on them until her husband showed up with a cart.

Don't forget to grab a scooter and film it. Upload to youtube so we can all share in the entertainment.

Also, see if you can get kicked out.

I did it a few years ago. My wife has a tradition with a friend. They go to the movies (Hunger Games past few years) than go shopping.

They enjoy it.

Couple years back she got home about midnight or so and I decided to go check it out thinking it couldn't be THAT bad.

It was worse.

6 registers CLOSED but each had a line of customers with their carts full of items that were to go on sale starting at 5am. It was unreal.

Moms bottle feeding babies and everything. Two police officers at the front doors. Two at the electronics register.

There is NOTHING they could sell that would make me go back. But it was fun to walk around just that once to take it all in.

I always figured the store looked like a tornado just went through it by that point.

Oh it does, but it looks like every other day at Walmart so that is no big deal.

That seems about right...

 
I went once because years ago they had a great deal on an Ipod for my daughter which included a $50 Walmart gift card which would help pay for my other daughter's gift. So it really was worth it $$ wise.

Being there was not. This was back when the store opened and people rushed in at like 4 am and they offered items for sale at different times. So I remember just hanging back and getting in the electronics line because my item wasn't elligible for the special sale until a couple hours later, but then I realized my mistake--I forgot to use the bathroom before getting in this line. Now mind you, this is after a huge day of two thanksgiving dinners and copious amounts of beer--I am in this line just dying. I'd like to think my scent at this point was just so I would blend in with the rest of these people.

To top it off, it is boring standing there alone. Not exactly a lot of fun people to talk to you know. So after a good bit, I am looking around for something to read and they had a rack of those video game walk thru guides. I reach over to grab one, which put me out of line by approximately 18 inches for approximately 2 seconds and the fatty behind me actually thought about trying to move up a spot, She said something stupid like, "You almost lost your spot." I didn't respond, but I believe my gas offered up a proper retort for me.

I made it through the process and got one of the last Ipods available. I remember the people behind me were beyond angry. If I didn't have to run to the bathroom, I probably should have stayed and tried to make some money reselling my item to one of these individuals.

Not exactly one of my proudest moments but hey, Mission Accomplished!!

This sounds like the worst time a consenting adult could ever have.

They had 10 dollar crock pots last year and people were actually wrestling them away from other people. This is a 25 dollar item, not a new car.

Go to a strip club instead, you'll have more fun

 
My favorite black Friday news interview. This was back when stores didn't open till 6am. So it's midnight or whatever and the reporter is interviewing people in line. What are you trying to get? Blah blah.

she gets to this girl and asks her. She says a watch. The news woman says oh a watch what kind? The girl pulls out a circular and it's an 80 watch on sale for like 50 or 60.

the news caster was a bit :unsure: and asked if it's worth waiting all nigjt. The girl was all offended. Absolutely it's worth waiting.

my wife and I swore it had to be schtixk

:lol: don't knock it until you've tried it. One time I held back the swarm of people to help this little old lady get a shark steam mop. #givingback

 
There is nothing in a walmart I would stand in line for on a normal day. So I damn sure am not waiting outside on a holiday in late Nov to get in to one and then stand in line some more to buy something.

If I do any shopping around that time, it's online and after any Thanksgiving family time is over. If I miss out on a deal, oh well.

 
Seriously, why the #### would you do this? The only stuff I buy at Wal-Mart is razor blades and toothpaste and other items that they can't possibly mess up. And realistically I should be ordering these through Amazon Prime so I don't have to set foot in a big box store.

 
Nothing would get me to Walmart on black Friday and really, rarely on any day. I hate shopping to begin with which is I guess odd for most chics but unless I need something, I only deal with grocery shopping. Can't stand crowds and am pretty impatient with digging to find what I want. Online shopping has been one of the best inventions ever, even though I really don't buy things I really don't need. Most guys love this in a chic. As for holiday/b-day gifty type shopping, gift cards are my very best friends in the whole world.

But I do like taking a drive a couple days prior, the night before, to see the wackies that will line up in their tents outside the stores, any store including Apple, and smh especially if it's raining!

For what reason? The deals are gone by then?

Either go hard or stay home.

I went at one year on Thanksgiving night. First stop was Best Buy. Stood in line for an hour. I was by myself, so tried to make conversation with people around me. People were ####ing MISERABLE and in no mood to talk.

After an hour, went to Target next door. Line went from the registers, to the far back corner of the store, and halfway back again. I saw people fighting about their place in line, etc.

I'd say "never again", but my experience at HH Gregg when I left Target was great.

However, I haven't gone out since. I think I'll continue to spend that Friday with the kids.

Most of the black Friday deals are available online and a couple of days before thanksgiving, so I am usually done with the big item shopping by that point and am just looking for filler items.

You're a moron. Maybe you should think twice about starting a thread per day. :lmao:

Just be you'd get your ### handed to you in this situation, doesn't mean it wouldn't be good comedy for someone else to roll with :shrug:

This isn't for a woman.

 
Went a few years ago and will not forget the 2 cars who pulled into the same parking spot from opposite sides. Neither would back out to let the other park and eventually a full on fist fight ensued. Pretty entertaining until the popo showed up. Both cars were towed. Pretty excellent day that was.
