Kelley Miller, an employee of Bed Bath and Beyond in Sterling Heights, Michigan shares her thoughts.
Miller said she feels Black Friday is an overall good idea, but stores shouldn't be opening as earlier as they are. (For more information on store hours and Black Friday, click here.)
Bed Bath and Beyond opened at five a.m on Black Friday and for Miller, that was early enough.
She worked a total of 12 and a half hours on Black Friday, a typical shift for retail employees on the day, and lucky for her, her work hours did not interfere with her holiday plans.
Miller said that the store was busier for the first few hours and then lulled for the majority of the workday.
She said she would never shop on Thanksgiving because it is a holiday that should be spent with family, not shopping.
Tiffany Shay, an MSU freshman said that Black Friday is all about the hype.
This Black Friday was her first shopping experience and she said the deals were not really deals and all and were definitely not worth the hassle.
An unofficial Facebook survey found that 54.5% of respondents agree that Black Friday is not all it's cracked up to be.
With the negativity surrounding Black Friday, should it continue?
