black-fridays-dirty-little-secrets: Personal Finance News from Yahoo! Finance
I figured Id start a thread for all the warpathians stories, pains and tribulations dealing with Black Friday shopping.
A few years ago I saw a great great deal on a huge HD tv with radio shack in the DMV area. Well I went to 3 different Radio Shacks and none of them had any of the advertised TVs in stock. So at the last store I pretty much lost it. I convinved a store clerk to check if and how many of the advertised TVs they had in stock in all the DMV radio shacks.
The answer? 3. 3 of their advertised blockbuster deals for this tv for the entire DMV area. thats not 3 of these tvs per store but 3 and only 3 for all their stores.
I was pissed. They did the old switch-a-roo just to get me thru the doors. I cursed Radio Shack name.
So beware, dont get your hopes up and post any stories you have of Black Friday shopping experiences good or bad.
