Is everyone's store all hands on deck for black friday this year? By this I mean every single person must work a full shift even if your not available, even if your part time. My store has basically said tough sh**. Just want to see how many others are experiencing the same. I anticipate at least 15 call offs in my store that day.

I’m working on setting up a cabinet shop and service van so I need just about everything. Packouts, tools, etc. In yalls experience do the deals go deeper on actual Black Friday than what HD has online right now? They’re advertising Black Friday now but I’d imagine they hold out some for the big day.

Any no brainer deals that hit every year I should be on the lookout for or definitely not purchase now? I’m kicking myself for not buying the $499 7-tool kit a week back…. Appreciate yall!

So far a lot of angry customers who obviously didn’t have a great Thanksgiving and decided to take it out on people who are working today. One guy was simply asked if he needed help and he told the person “suck my dick, you talk to me every fucking time I come in here and I’m sick of it, fuck off.” Other people simply doing their jobs and pushing the $8.88 HVAC tuneup special have heard similar or worse. Maybe it gets old hearing it from 3-4 plus people but you opted to come in. No one twisted your arm or held a gun to your head.
