Exact, and 100% correct, which is why never in my entire life, no matter what a friend, best friend, girlfriend, my future wife, my future daughter(s), grandkids tell me. I will NEVER.EVER. step into a store that isn't my own job on black friday, ever.

I think everyone of us who works at a retail/electronics store should form a suicide pact, effective to suicide tomorrow night.

It's only 6 hours of hell.

Hah. Have you seen the sales flyer for EB Games for Friday?

They put the ****ing PS3 in it.

We do not and will not have any PS3s on Friday.

Whoever was the genius who did that really sucks hard.

Yes, I saw it at EB itself.

For some reason I think that was only added because of the report from game stop that they have the second shipment of Wii's and Ps3's now for Friday.

ONLY? One hour after I start to work on Friday I'll wish I had a suicide pact.

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't know Roland replied to me until I was done with my previous reply.

Yeah, well, even if we do get any PS3s, I can say with certainty that the vast majority of EBs/Gamestops that get any will be using them to cover people who preordered them but didn't get their system.

And just to make everything more fun, I'm coming down with something and feel like complete shit.

Bleh. I'm going to go back to FFXII.

Anyway yes I agree within the first 30 mins of work I will be barraged with some of the most insane customers ever.

Yeah, didn't EB offer DVDs or something to those who couldn't get Ps3s? What a consolation!

Well, I was a full time return associate this time last year, sooo that is unforgettable for me. Now let's just make sure I'm not on returns at all ever until January....

As a retail sales person I admire you for doing returns/exchanges during this time of year. 馃槢

You have no idea how badly I wanted to blow my own head off before Christmas Eve arrived. I even made them give me off Black Friday weekend last year and that was no help overall either.
