Staples To Open Store For "Black Friday" On Thanksgiving

Source - Falling in line behind the likes of Macy’s, J.C. Penney, OfficeMax, Kmart and more, Staples is joining the horde of retailers opening its doors on Thanksgiving without bothering to wait for Black Friday. The office supply chain will open on the holiday for the first time in its history, welcoming bargain-hunters at 8 p.m. before closing at midnight. The next day – the traditional holiday shopping kickoff – Staples will reopen at 6 a.m.

Stores are fucking ruthless. As if the whole Black Friday thing wasn’t bad enough as it is, now they are opening on Thanksgiving, which is one of the only days in the year where you should be doing absolutely nothing. Thanksgiving is meant to sit around with your family and eat until your heart feels like it’s going to explode. If there isn’t a mini-heartattack at the Thanksgiving table, not including when Grandma drops n-bombs, than you are doing Thanksgiving wrong. I usually respect the hustle of people trying to make an extra buck, but Staples knows how stupid 98% of people are, and knows they will wait in a fucking blizzard to get 30% off a tablet. All these fucking kids are going to have to go to school the next week and when their Language Arts teacher makes them share what they did for Thanksgiving, little Jimmy is going to have to say he watched mommy get in a fist fight with an old lady who grabbed the last camera on the shelf. That’s where we’re at.

PS: If you go shopping at all during the holiday season, you need to do a life re-evaluation, ASAP. We have a thing called the internet now where you can buy all your gifts without putting on pants. Going into a shopping mall between November 1st and Christmas is about as fun as walking down main street in Afghanistan.
