I was in Southern MD near PAX River visiting family. Needless to say, I spent my Black Friday at the stores down there. I enjoyed the free parking, great deals, and good company. Oh, and no one was trampled to death or mugged.

I spent Sunday afternoon shopping along U street, and with only one exception was always the only person in the store. Heavenly for me, but I felt bad for the retailers. Maybe becuase of this, I was surprised at how many good deals there were.

I was at the DC USA Target Saturday morning at 8:30 while they were holding an employee meeting in the middle of the store. The manager said they had not hit projections on Black Friday so he would be cutting employee’s hours.

Sad.

Also sad that customers had to hear this.

We went downtown, Georgetown, and 14th St.

Aside from the clusterf**k that was the hot chocolate break at ACKC, nothing was too nutty.

I went to a new Target in Annapolis, and it was near empty…. Like a Tuesday at 1pm at the DCUSA Target. Though many Napolitans were probably doing the upscale-shopping thing. Who knows.

Did not even venture out to go shopping. We do most of our shopping on-line or through mail order catalogs. So easy!

I was in the Northeast, won’t name the city, and found that the people buying the next day were pitiful and/or sad. There were crowds, but people who couldn’t get a “doorbuster” deal (oh god) seemed like they weren’t going to be able to get very much at all.
