And it used to be one of the rare holidays that retail workers could spend at home with their families. I can understand keeping stores that sell essentials open for at least limited hours (food, drugs) but we don't really have to be buying things like clothes and electronics every day of the year.
There is nothing I need or want badly enough to go to the stores on Black Friday.
