Only the classless go shopping on black friday. Watch the videos of people trampling on others at walmart. So incredibly trashy. Who would want to be an active part of that culture?

In the 80s we used to go to the mall to people-watch and check out the decorations and carolers. Not since then, though.

You can save even more by just not buying anything.

+100

Not since 1996. I don’t think it was even called that then.

Yea and it's totally discusting.

F NO, I can't stress that enough.

The problem with this is that the good stuff is gone.

Oh! Well then, you couldn't possibly be trashy. Lol.

If you go in person, what are thinking - the mall? Or are you thinking about places like Georgetown. I think the mall would be a nightmare. I was there last night for a movie.

Money can’t buy you class.

I love the multimillionaires that spend their free time on DCUM.

We are all multimillionaires here. I got there on minimum salary, so I expect a lot more from those who have made over $50k a year for years.
Not going shopping because of the crowds, parking, long lines. Most rich already have everything they need.

DP, for many it’s a kick start to the holiday season. Buying stocking stuffers, a few things on sale, etc. it’s festive.
