Brad Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 What annoys you or drives you crazy about Black Friday? Could be something to do with shopping in stores or online. Vent away I'll start: online sales not starting when stores say they will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppermint Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Probably the layout of certain stores and not knowing where BF items are going to be. Usually they are in the most unusual of spots. Sent from my iPhone using GottaDEAL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewarta4 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 (edited) I don't know if I'd consider it Black Friday as much as I would an "every time I go shopping" annoyance....people who act completely oblivious to the existence of others...hogging the aisles, standing directly in the middle of the aisle so no one can get around them...standing in front of particular items forever without realizing that others may need access to where they are standing.....people who can't control their screaming, bratty, need-their-a$$-busted children....I'll stop there [emoji23] But seriously, I try my absolute best to look around me every few minutes at the store to make sure I'm not standing in someone's way...if I need to stop in an aisle to look at something, I pull myself and my cart as far over to the side as possible....people just aren't courteous.

Bopeep Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Associates that don't know where ad items are. Stood in line for what felt like forever one time and when the paper came off - it was the wrong one! Too late to get the one I wanted by then. (I do have to say, it was a one time thing and the associates in every store we shop in are usually very helpful considering the stress they are under). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjdav Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Standing in line for hours only for it to be a free for all with line jumpers when the doors open. Not handing out numbers for big ticket door buster items. Not limiting the number of big ticket items per person when there is a limited amount and the teenager who pushed past you is taking them all. Ok, now I am starting to sound old. Oh, and, get off my lawn. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikefree Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I agree with everything above plus one. The only store we go to that still has a line waiting outside instead of inside is Menards. I know we are outside, but every year it seems like we are standing right next to a smoker who insists on blowing their cigarette smoke right in our direction. Very annoying considering everything that is known now about smoking and second-hand smoke. Sorry if I'm offending any smokers, but my sinuses are very sensitive to the smoke. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riven3d Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Thanksgiving Day Sales!!! instead of the true BF sales shopping carts I just cant stand them in the small lines, get a central location with somebody to man it and fill it that way in no way do they belong in lines around the electronics department where 3/4 of the people are trying to get by at and cant because everyone has a stupid buggy Every year at WM i push the buggies out of my way as i try to scoot by and the people just give me these dirty looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFgrl79 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 People showing up 3 minutes before the sale starts and angrily stating that they better not miss out on whatever the item is they can’t get close to. Cracks me up every time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesusluvu Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I agree with all the above Linejumpers, sideliners who try to slide in with the crowd, people who try to fit buggies in small places, declined credit card transactions, disrespect people, late comers who stand there and complain about the door busters being gone, unruly kids, bad hygiene, loud talkers, crooked wigs, only 4 registers open when you have 20, etc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariahA Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Smelly people, please at least put on deodorant people! Or shower! Latecomers getting upset about doorbusters being gone, unattended children. People yelling at tired children. Taking product early.

rockpzazz Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 My biggest pet peeve isn't so much children, but people who bring babies with them. It's dangerous and its just wrong in my opinion. As for online, my biggest pet peeve is ordering from Gamestop. It seems every year I would have to contact customer service for one reason or another. That stopped as I stopped playing games as much, but last year Best Buy took their place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
