Since you guys are in different parts of the country, I'm curious what you saw if you went out on Black Friday. My wife and I went out around 8:30 AM just to get some breakfast and a few specials (couple of items for the gameroom included). I was dreading the crowds, however everywhere we went it was about the same or less people than we're used to seeing on a normal weekday - very unexpected. The store employees we spoke to said it was because of so many stores starting their sales on Thanksgiving Day, so that makes sense. It was just so odd not to see more people out on Black Friday despite the Thursday early start.
Did you guys see similar situations in your area?
