I hate you Kohls!!

Today was the big shopping day, as most of you know. The day after Thanksgiving is probably the biggest shopping day of the year, and that's why they call it Black Friday. You know, all bad, miserable things are associated with the word black. That's a given.
So today Kohls had this sale from 5:30-12, where you can get the best deals on the items in the store, blah blah. I woke up at 5, put my clothes on, and took the dogs out. I'm dogsitting for my sister, and her dog and my dog absolutely LOVE playing with each other. It's Christmas for them every time they see each other. Anyway, I took them out, closed the door, and drove to Kohls. I got to the store and the parking lot was packed. The doors were already open, so at least I didn't have to wait in line. As of right now it's 32 degrees outside. BRRRR...And, it's 6am. I go inside and see a worker. I asked where the electronics are, and he said they are in the back corner. I meander like a cow following the herd to the electronics, and there is one of those islands with 5 cameras on it, at the very top of the shelf. Well, I wanted to get 2 dvd players for my sisters. People are grabbing the last of the cameras, so I walk around the corner to see where the DVD players are. I end up in the toy section and people are yelling about what type of toys they want for their kids. Give me a break. I don't understand how (enter some toy I don't know about) can be so popular, but it is, apparently.
I hear people saying that the DVD players are gone. Fine, I'm out. I walk by some lady with two and I asked her where she got them. She said..oh wait, she yelled 'They were on that island thing with the cameras. SORRY.' Of course, I thought to myself 'why are you sorry? You already got two, you greedy, loud lady!' So I left the store. I can't believe the stores have these big sales, and only put say 50-100 dvd players and it's first come first serve. No rainchecks. So, while others were getting sucked into the trap of shopping at Kohls, I left the store. Why don't they have the sale from 5:30-5:32. No one cares about the other stuff in the store, but those people love to shop no matter where they are. I got back to my car at 5:40. Yes, 5:40 I was back at my car, driving home. I'm guessing I probably got there at 5:32, and all the people that waited in line were able to get the DVD players first. Screw them and screw Kohls. I hate that store anyway. I don't mind trying to get a deal and get my shopping done at one time, but I don't need it. I'll pay the extra 20 bucks for a nicer DVD player for my sisters.
On a happier note, I got home about 5:50, and what am I greeted to when I get home. Two dogs that are very thirsty for water, and their necks are all wet. At least they had free reign to run and play for an hour while I was pretending to be shopping. It's now 6:09, they're tired, I'm angry, but at least I can write my blog. Black Friday was a success for me, because now I am back in the confines of my house, with two dogs, and tons of leftovers. Happy Black Friday everyone. Don't get killed or maimed trying to get the best deal out there. HA!
