Who participates in this free for all of sales, lure of good prices, and not a parking space in the lot?
I'm off to the garage for a regular service check up, I'm going nowhere near those malls!
Yes, I love the crowds and deals.
Yes, my better half drags me along.
I camp out all night long, what fun!
No way, I hate the crowds.

Not my cup of tea either. Though i didn't check any options because I don't hate the crowds, I'm just not comfortable in them much of the time.
It's okay when shopping is leisurely, but on black Friday it's a job and becomes difficult to enjoy people when they're so focused on shopping.
Stuffy!
Free for all sounds rather altruistic, Chonsi. It's a give-away? People needn't take their purses?
Or is this unfettered consumerism in disguise?

Who has a spare two minutes a day to play in this month's FG Trivia game - we need additional players to make it more exciting and you'll be welcomed.
Free-for-all in this sense means freedom to have at it, Spot.Originally Posted by spot
Not about scrapping money and inculcating a societal spirit of take what you need for as long as you need it, not just what you fancy, then? I misunderstood the thread, I got all excited there for a minute or two. I'll stand back and learn about local customs then.

No, No! Its all about that too, it just depends on perspective. I was only offering what i thought Chonsi meant by her choice of wording. Its common speak here.
Definitely contribute to the thread. At least I think you should.
Don't forget, we Americans have been given the idea that money is in abundant supply. We just create it out of thin air for any reason whatsoever.
I've never liked to shop and there is no how, no way, I will go near a store today. A WalMart worker in New York got trampled to death by the crowd last year. The merchandise is on sale, most likely a very limited supply, and just not worth fighting the crowds to me. I'd probably end up hurting someone when they rammed me with their shopping cart.
Back already from the garage, the men charmed into giving me a fast ride home while they work on the car.
Spot, it is consumerism in disguise. Limited quantities of items at low prices. And RJ's point that they can shop 'till the drop, charging all the way, is how many do it. A silly thing to do in these times.
And yes, who can forgot the poor man who was trampled to death by crowds. A sad statement in itself, on where are our values.
They are values nonetheless! No one can say we don't have values...or seek them for that matter.Back already from the garage, the men charmed into giving me a fast ride home while they work on the car.

Nope, not me! We did the black Friday thing a few years ago and won't do it again. People were crazy, ripping merchandise right out of your hands.And the check out lines were rediculous. Once in a lifetime is enough for me.
