2. My arms and shoulders agree
Do you have any idea how heavy a tray full of Bed, Bath, & Beyond postcard-style ads is?

Sheesh.

5. Not to mention far better benefits than many will ever have.
Everything in life is a trade off.

6. I work on Black Friday by choice.
I hate crowds and shopping and I know all the "big sales" are scams. So I come to work for half a day, make some extra Christmas money and I am convinced I come out ahead.

No stress, extra cash and a nice afternoon-evening with my guy.

I just avoid mall traffic and giggle at all the people running around like rats in a maze.

I'll shop another day.
