For some people Black Friday is disgusting and shameful, and others it’s the best day of the year. Some may say its shameful and disgusting because it causes families to be split up during Thanksgiving. It is looked as disrespectful if you leave your family. But others who think it’s the best day of the year, are out to get the sales. Whether you leave to buy friends and family Christmas presents, or you’re just treating yourself, there are great sales so it is usually worth it. Leaving at 12am Friday morning and shopping all night can become a great memory with whoever you go with. Here are some of Knoch students’ experiences going Black Friday Shopping.
