My Black Friday plans didn’t even include my wallet. I decided to hitch around the area and see the crowds, as well as the inside action taking place at the registers and sales floors. My loop of stores included some of the more popular retailers: Target, Best Buy, Toys R Us, Wal-Mart, and even the Orange Park Mall (to my surprise). I was only able to actually go inside two of them, Wal-Mart and the OP Mall, as the other ones had lines that would have taken two hours to get through. But since those stores were only letting about fifty people through at a time, the action I was looking for wasn’t going to take place. Wal-Mart and the mall, on the other hand, had open doors. Wal-Mart was of course the most hectic, as they simply place palettes of merchandise our and have the customers fend for themselves, creating the most turmoil.
