I am a die-hard black Friday shopper.... i"ve done it for many years, and will do it again. The stores that are top notch in their black Friday plans are like well-oiled machines (Target, JCPenney), the others lost my business (Sears). Walmart tried their best... there were just too many people to handle, didn't get what I wanted there, but I wouldn't call it a bad experience. My only black Friday bummer was Walmart online at 3:00 am, now that was chaos.
