Mess of Bags

I hate plastic bags! They are such a pain in the @$$. I use to not mind them when I worked at a grocery store during my younger days. They were more convenient to carry and work with, but now they are nothing but a nuisance. I see them everywhere, on the road, in grass, and even in trees.

I noticed that they are a bane for the earth as well. Taking thousands of years to degrade, making their own continent in the ocean, and even being digested by animals only to come out unharmed after sickening and killing them! I think this needs to be in a movie.

The next terminator should be a plastic bag. The T-1000 has nothing on plastic bags. They would swarm their target from land, air and sea and kill it a variety of ways. They could suffocate, poison, and even crush their victims by burying them in an avalanche of plastic precision. Beware of plastic bags… beware.

But you must get that TV that is 60% less then normal or the new gadget that is 80% discounted. For some this is worth the headache and hassle. What about the others though? Some dread going out on this day for the simple fact that most humans turn into primal animals. Their lust and desire for the deals turned them into hardened fiends. They must get to the deals no matter the cost and before the store runs out.

This takes a toll on those who are using their day off to start Christmas shopping and general goods shopping, ignoring the “black deals” that others directly aim for. These innocent people are sometimes caught in the crossfire. The Black Deal shoppers will take their rage and anger out on them if there is any interference. This can lead to physical and emotional damage on both sides.

For the workers it can even be more damaging. They have to endure the ridicules and crassness from these customers! While you may think that the workers are just doing their job sometimes the stores have them come in at the early hours of the morning. When the store then opens people flood in like a wave and try to grab all the good deals before anyone else does. What then happens when a deal is gone? Those customers take it out on the workers.

What can be done to avoid this? Stay indoors! Don’t go out on this day. Avoid anything that will cause you to leave the safety of your home. Only go out if there is absolutely no choice. If you do go out remember the above and try to keep it in mind as you work your way through the horror and confusion that is Black Friday.
