Its coming...What are your experences with this epic day?
Since I was 12-13 ish, I usually am the one that babysits the kids or watches the carts on Black Friday.
I also remembering being in elementary school and having the responsibility of watching the cart as everyone divided up and got their stuff. That year my idea of watching the cart was using all the coats as cushions and blankets in order to sleep. My mom came back to the cart expecting my dad and I to be standing around the cart (dad had to check out some kind of electronic device and left me to watch the cart), but all she saw was a cart with the the coats. My dad showed up a couple of second later...."Where's Mel?". Mom went crazy. My big brother ended finding me huddled between the coats, but by then store Mom was demanding that the store go into locked down to look for me.
There was also the year that some lady was so determined to get some piece of merchandise that was out, she actually grabbed it from the cart my aunt's cart when my cousin and I were watching the carts. After that year, I refused to go to shopping with the family on that particular day and just babysit the kids.
