Hmlinco Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 What are the odds that Toys R Us will open at midnight this year for Black Friday? I know last year they opened at this time but I'm not sure about previous years.
bigjimslade Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Last year it was 10pm on Thanksgiving Day and I would say it is a great chance they will do it again this year.
Rockfordmom Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Stores keep opening earlier & earlier, they never go back to an later time. Won't be long before stores are just open on Thanksgiving day all day.

Hmlinco Posted October 4, 2011 Author Posted October 4, 2011 ten! That's right. I remember getting there at 8 now. Thank y'all so much!

Won't be long before stores are just open on Thanksgiving day all day. That's how WalMart is, they just don't close on Thanksgiving day. I am sorry, I HAVE to spend time with my family FIRST before I do any shopping ! Its not like its used to be, which is upsetting.
mgmckny Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 Back in the 80's malls here in Jacksonville would close on Labor Day and Easter and by the time I left retail, those were no longer store closing days... If they could they would just make the stores be open 24/7.
TazErase Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 Yes this. Thanksgiving soon won't even be a holiday, just a shopping day.I have noticed this as well. More and more stores are opening and have Thanksgiving DAY sales now, which they never did in the past. Where I camp out, it's at a mall. In previous years I had to go to the bathroom at the dinner across the street but last year Old Navy was open until about 9pm Thanksgiving Day and reopened at midnight BF. This completely changed the entire way the camping and all was done last year. We could go inside to warm up and use the bathrooms, and since the mall had to open midnight for ON, they let the line for BB in the mall at midnight rather than have to remain outside freezing until about 3:30 or 4am when they usually let us in.
theboyzmom Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 I went to TRU last year...what a nightmare!!!! Never again
Rockfordmom Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 I went to TRU last year...what a nightmare!!!! Never againAfter I left TRU I heard that there was a fistfight between 2 women. Rockford is amazing, people try to show up at the last minute and rush the lines, Target & TRU have security but people try to it anyways. Menards lets people do it, if I wasn't shopping there I would film it, I've written to the headquarters, called the store and written to the newspaper with absolutely no luck. Until someone gets hurt... And I've heard the one in the next town is organized and way better, the manager here in Rockford just doesn't care about his employees or the customers getting hurt.
tinkrbel Posted October 6, 2011 Posted October 6, 2011 And Ive heard the one in the next town is organized and way better, the manager here in Rockford just doesn't care about his employees or the customers getting hurt.sadly that's the only explanation. I'm sure a little foresight wouldn't be too difficult especially considering the nearby ones have a plan of action that appears to work, they could just call a meeting and copy the other stores plan it's not like they have to use many brain cells for that.
