I understand your point of view, but do you watch TV, use the phone, electricity on Thanksgiving, someone has to give up their day to work for them as well. I am in Healthcare, hospitals have to stay open too.
Those things actually matter. No one is going to die if they can't get their BF bargains. Also, people in those professions are compensated quite differently than someone working in retail with no benefits thanks to these past few decades of union busting.

Nice to hope, but most people will be there as long as their greenbacks or plastic holds up. Energy drinks are not our friend when it comes to competition either!We did Walmart last year at midnight which was fun because I got interviewed in my gottadeal shirt, but we had items we needed from Office Max, Target, and Kohls as well. We tried to sleep around 8pm on TG, but of course, that didn't work, so we wound up staying up from 8am Thanksgiving until 8am Black Friday morning. As we both have regular 9-5 jobs, it threw us waaay out of whack in our sleeping and we ended up spending the rest of the weekend tired and lounging around the house. This year, we've commited to shopping at 4am or later. There is nothing we need that badly that we need to be up at midnight for. I'm hoping those folks who do go out at midnight will be too tired to brave the long lines for later openings and will head to bed. I guess we'll see...

Those of us who camp, have given up on the traditional Thanksgiving dinner, but have observed it on the line from time to time! I was born on thanksgiving, so my own birth caused my mother to miss out once herself! The truth is that you can make thanksgiving in your heart any day of the year that is special to you and your loved ones. Nobody needs to tell you when to celebrate the important times together. We celebrate thanksgiving on the Saturday before. In 2009, we celebrated it on Thursday outside of Best BUY because it was my birthday as well. We will always celebrate in this manner when the two coincide.Do you like Thanksgiving sales?
I personally think Thanksgiving sales are awful, no store should be open on Thanksgiving NOTHING SHOULD BE OPEN ON THANKSGIVING. People should be with family, not shopping. Not only should you not be shopping but think about the poor employees that are forced to work on Thanksgiving because some people can't wait for Black Friday. Alot of BF websites tell you not to ignore Thanksgiving sales, but I say IGNORE, IGNORE, IGNORE. But that is just me, what do you think?

Do we really have a choice if they open at Midnight to wait ? We might not get the items we want ....
You ALWAYS have a choice..but your choice may prevent you from getting what you want. I think it all depends on how they do the sales and what's allowed. EVEN if other stores try the tiered sales like Walmart did last year you MAY NOT get what your after (by showing up later) since people will be able to crowed around and or pick up their things earlier.
I am kind of worried about how things will turn out and will be much happier once we get some ads with info and items in it. I'll probably be going to staples/office depot this year since I have rewards to redeem.
