That's the thing that's most concerning about Black Friday, or situations like the one above, to me. The people buying things like this are doing it most likely because they don't have a lot of money. So they think they are getting this great deal and saving all this money and in reality you just bought a piece of product. They will end up spending more money in the long run or flat out throwing money away because they think they're getting a good deal............ON PIECE OF PRODUCTS. And then, to your point, they fail to understand or have the ability to quantify the cost of waiting in line, fighting with other idiots, the added stress, and the fact that retailers & manufacturers will make up for that huge discount somewhere else because of that great deal on that piece of product.

exactly
case in point;
while working as an electrician in colorado, another sparky and i were two hours in the middle of nowhere, building some electrical thingamajiggy, which required the use of a specialized tool to complete.
he pulls out the said wrench, while proclaiming what a great deal he got on it at harbor freight tools (chinese army surplus crap store).
not to dismiss his pride, even though i knew it was a POS, we gave it a try.
"SNAP" was the sound it made as it broke the very first time using it.
i looked at him and said, "well, thankfully i have a real one in my truck, otherwise it would be four extra hours of driving for nothing."

Who are you and what have you done to Ygrene?
Apart from that one can rightfully question the products quality but additionally I would not trade my dignity for a few saved dollars by becoming a rioting fat angry in a pack of other rioting fat angry s. |

I would like some citric acid on my waffle bed. I have some "whipped cream" for a topping. |
