Black Friday sucks

This morning I decided I would get up and venture into Black Friday shopping for the first and hopefully last time. You see, there was this grill I really wanted at this Home Depot-ish store. It was originally $300, but today it was $150 and you didn't have to pay tax. It was stainless steel, 4 burners, and a side burner. It had a storage cabinet below and it had good reviews online. It could even cook 30 burgers at once, which is something that I would never need to do, but still cool. I decided it was worth the trouble.

I also decided, though, that I did not want to partake in the stampede right away at 6...there is just something wrong with that I think. So, I showed up at 6:25. I figured this would be fine as it's November and I didn't think too many people would be thinking of grilling right now. Yes, it is good weather in CA all year, but people here are too wimpy to grill in 65 degree weather. Well, I was wrong. The gentleman working at the store told me they only had 9 and they all went immediately. This sucks as it meant I got up super early and drove to the store in my pajamas and it was all for nothing. Live and learn I guess. I don't foresee trying Black Friday again.
