They should trump all the stores and do Black Wedenesday. And stay closed on Thurs.

Genius

First babies tend to be overdue.
When is her date?

November 21st so baby can't come until pretty much November 28th-ish.

My first was only a day late....

My first was only a day late....

I'm doomed then.

 

[redeye58]

Meh, not really.
I had a cousin who had four girls & all but the last were late.
They ran from 2 days to a week late.
Tell your Mrs. to keep her legs crossed, tho

A couple of people in my store have begun setting wagers on opening time for Black Friday this year, and since November is right around the corner, like literally down the street, I thought I'd bring the "fun" to you guys here.

So I'll display my bet as, 8AM. I went back and forth between 8AM and 6PM but I've decided that spot has decided it's all or nothing this year.

I heard a rumor we would be opening midnight on thanksgiving. That means no thanksgiving for anyone.....

 

[Firefox]

I think that 8 AM would be too ambitious. I think it'll be earlier than last year, but probably nothing too crazy.

 

[pfreshdude]

The word Black Friday should be banned. One of the most stupid things that exists. At this point we should open at like 2pm...see how much people REALLY want to get their stuff if they have family things planned.

You mean midnight on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving? So open all day on Thanksgiving day?

 

[Amaazingdude]

Correct

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

No comment yet.. I have heard several things..

REI has been closed every year on Thanksgiving, refusing to cave into the pressure. Now, they're taking it a step further and closing on Black Friday, too. What's more? They're paying their employees for a full day's wage too, so employees who need the money aren't hurt in the process.

This is an incredible move to respect not only the family but the things in life that are more important than consumerism.

 

[Amaazingdude]

I bet that the CEO won't be working Black Friday. I would think highly of him if he worked the register for Black Friday or even did crowd control outside.

 

[GlobalTL123]

There are rumors of a 12 pm opening.

 

[JimmyTarget]

It'll be 6pm. Guaranteed.

 

[Triscuit]

It was 6 last year, 8 the year before, so i predict 4 pm at the latest. lets hope not, but who knows.

 

[Kartman]

I don't give a flying fark.

Bring it on.

Another day, another dollar!

There are rumors of a 12 pm opening.

I want receipts on these rumours.

Straight out of the DTLs mouth... told to have the team ready for a 12 pm opening on thursday.

I think your DTL is full of shit tbh. I think they'd be told not to tell anyone until two weeks before.

I really hope so. Totally unfair to everyone if there is any truth to it.

 

[Tarjayyy]

I am going with a 3pm opening on Turkey Day.

Target always makes the announcement on the as I call it now "Grey Thursday" hours after Walmart makes their announcement, we must never allow Wally World to win! The hours should be announced about two weeks out because it takes the printers of the ad to get it ready for distribution even though we get advanced copies of the ad, notice that the dates and times of the specials aren't listed.

 

[ClarkKent]

I heard 7pm from two TLs.

The REI announcement led to #BlackFriday trending so I clicked it and I'm scrolling through the tweets. In the mix of people tweeting about going outside (that's what rei is advocating for instead of shopping) I saw a tweet from a tgt store exec with a pic of their meeting planning for Black Friday crowd control lol. The juxtaposition of that tweet in the mix of people cheering on that store not opening was funny to me.

I voted 4pm. And that's my most optimistic guess.
